FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 26-06]


Samsung Electronics America, Inc., Complainant v. Wan Hai Lines, 
Ltd., Respondent; Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal 
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by Samsung Electronics 
America, Inc. (the ``Complainant'') against Wan Hai Lines, Ltd. (the 
``Respondent''). Complainant states that the Commission has subject-
matter jurisdiction over this Complaint pursuant to the Shipping Act of 
1984, 46 U.S.C. 40301, et seq., and personal jurisdiction over 
Respondent as a ``common carrier'' as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(7).
    Complainant is a corporation organized and existing under the laws 
of the state of New York with a principal place of business in 
Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
    Complainant identifies respondent Wan Hai Lines, Ltd. as a company 
existing under the laws of Taiwan with its principal place of business 
located in Taipei, Taiwan, whose agent in the United States is Wan Hai 
Lines (USA) Ltd., an entity existing under the laws of the state of 
California with a principal place of business located in Scottsdale, 
Arizona.
    Complainant alleges that Respondent violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c) and 
46 CFR 545.4 and 545.5. Complainant alleges these violations arose from 
Respondent systematically requiring that Complainant be responsible for 
the payment of demurrage and detention charges incurred for ``store 
door'' shipments, failing to engage in an adequate dispute resolution 
process regarding the charges, and other acts and omissions of 
Respondent.
    An answer to the complaint must be filed with the Commission within 
25 days after the date of service.
    The full text of the complaint can be found in the Commission's 
electronic Reading Room at <a href="https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/26-06/">https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/26-06/</a>. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of 
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge 
shall be issued by May 20, 2027, and the final decision of the 
Commission shall be issued by December 3, 2027.

(Authority: 46 U.S.C. 41301; 46 CFR 502.61(c))
