FMC reviewing 14 OTI license applications

Individuals knowing of a reason why an applicant should not receive a license should contact the Office of Transportation Intermediaries.    The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has received 14 ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) license applications and changes for review.
   The FMC received non-vessel-operating common carrier license applications from ATP Logix, Torrance, Calif. (John H. Park, president); R Cube Consulting, Hicksville, N.Y. (Haribai R.

Sekpe, managing member); Nexo Global Relocations, Franklin Park, N.J. (Karina M. Mihailovschi, managing member); and TriCon Logistics, DFW Airport, Texas (Christopher M. Condon, CEO)
   In addition, the FMC received license applications for a change to a qualifying individual from Sumisho Global Logistics (USA) Corp., Lake Success, N.Y. (Barbara Pupa, vice president); for removing the trade name BSL Networks Logistics from Y5 Solutions, Harbor City, Calif. (Shan “Anderson” I.Chiu, chief financial officer); and for name changes to GBP International from GBP Logistics, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Xiucong Yang, president) and Seahorse Express from Sea Horse Express, Bayonne, N.J. (Joseph Blanco, vice 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.
