FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 26-12]


Samsung Electronics America, INC., Complainant v. CMA CGM S.A., 
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 CMA CGM S.A. (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. 41301, and over Respondent as a vessel-operating 
``ocean common carrier,'' as that term is defined by 46 U.S.C. 40102(7) 
and (18).
    Complainant is a corporation organized and existing under the laws 
of the state of New York, with a place of business in Englewood Cliffs, 
New Jersey.
    Complainant identifies Respondent as a soci[eacute]t[eacute] 
anonyme existing under the laws of the Republic of France with a 
principal place of business in Marseille, France.
    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 the assessment of demurrage and detention charges arising from 
delays and circumstances beyond Complainant's control; failure to 
perform inland transportation obligations; improper cargo holds, 
billing, and dispute resolution practices; and other acts or 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/26-12/">https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/26-12/</a>. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of 
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge 
shall be issued by September 1, 2027, and the final decision of the 
Commission shall be issued by March 15, 2028.

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

    Served: September 1, 2026.
