The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has received 11 ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) license applications and changes for review.
The FMC received non-vessel-operating common carrier license applications from DTA Express Services, Miami Lakes, Fla. (Deborah Barnes, manager), and Grupo JL Logistics, Miami (Juan L. Ochoa Mendez, member).
The agency received NVO/ocean freight forwarder license applications from Mohammed H. Issah, Iowa City, Iowa (Mohammed H. Issah, sole proprietor); Move Genius, Rohnert Park, Calif. (Robert A. Alpert, CEO); and Ocean Logistics US, Doral, Fla. (Carlos L. Badilla, president).
The FMC also received ocean freight forwarder license applications from Q Logistics, Tempe, Ariz. (Jason P. Quagliata, member), and TSL Shipping & Trading, Chestnut Hill, Mass. (Kenn T. Soendergaard, managing member).
In addition, the agency received license applications for changes to qualifying individuals from D.B. Group America, Jamaica, N.Y. (Mirella Bordin, vice president); Marli Shipping, Whippany, N.J. (Jun Zhang, president); and Royal Cargo, Carson, Calif. (Wolfgang Friedrich, secretary); and for a license transfer to Thomas Griffin International from RV Shipping, Williston, Fla. (Thomas L. Griffin, president).
Persons knowing of any reason why an applicant should not receive an OTI license or amendment are urged to contact the FMC’s Office of Transportation Intermediaries in Washington, D.C. Lists of licensed OTIs (applications approved, bonds in place and fully licensed) — both ocean freight forwarders and NVOs — also are available on the FMC website.
