FMC reviews seven OTI license applications

Individuals knowing of a reason why an applicant should not receive a license should contact the FMC’s Office of Transportation Intermediaries.    The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has received seven ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) license applications and a change for review.
   The FMC received a non-vessel-operating common carrier license application from Nippon Express U.S.A., Long Island City, N.Y. (Koji Kominami, vice president).
   The agency also received NVO/ocean freight forwarder license applications from Blueprint Global USA, Spring, Texas (Mark E. Story, member); East West Freight, Tampa, Fla. (Philipus Suparto, director of international operations); G&B Logistics, Ellenwood, Ga. (Shavonese T. Gunter, member); SanGar Enterprise, Miami (Roxana Garay, member); and ShipEx Logistics, Salt Lake City (Jack H. Chen, director of OTI activities).
   In addition, the FMC received a license application for a change to a qualifying individual from Maruzen of America, Dominguez Hills, Calif. (Steve Kondo, forwarding director).
   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.
