FMC reviews seven OTI license applications

Filing companies located in California, Florida, New Jersey and Texas.    The Federal Maritime Commission has received seven ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) license applications and changes for review.
   The FMC received non-vessel-operating common carrier license applications from FM Global Logistics (USA), Carson, Calif. (Cooper Chao, manager); Omega Global Logistics, Edgewater, N.J. (Guven Balei, president); Sinoport Logistics USA, Houston (Weiwei Guan, president); and United Auto Shipping, Tampa, Fla. (Fathi M, Faituri, member).
   The agency also received a NVO/ocean freight forwarder license application from Kargosmart Global, Diamond Bar, Calif. (Shou “Prince” C. Chen, president).
   In addition, the FMC received license applications for changes to qualifying individuals from Forbis Logistics Corp., Miami (Jorge J. Devoto, CEO); National Shipping Lines, South San Francisco, Calif. (Yan C. Chen, chief operations officer); and Prime Logistics, Sugar Land, Texas (Hsin-Hao “Richard” Tsai, treasurer).
   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.
