FMC reviews 11 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 11 ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) license applications and changes for review.
   The FMC received non-vessel-operating common carrier license applications from Three Fort Logistics, Walnut, Calif. (Tsung N. Mao, chief operating officer); Triskelion & Co., Los Angeles (Manuel Paez, manager); and US-CS, Richmond, Texas (Shayan Syed, manager).
   The agency received a NVO/ocean freight forwarder license application from Global Clothing Industries, Atlanta (Lamin Bah, member).
   The FMC also received ocean freight forwarder license applications from Bridge International Logistics Ltd., Troy, Ohio (Marina I. Dominguez Gomez, member); Jensen Shipping Co., Birmingham, Ala. (Forrest King, president); and Romcrest, Cape Coral, Fla. (Anton Tony Samoila, member).
   In addition, the agency received license applications for changes to qualifying individuals from Conavenca Freight Forwarder, Doral, Fla. (Omar E. Velasquez, member); Danzas Corp., Plantation, Fla. (Andreas Krueger, vice president of ocean freight); RRSH Group, Miami (Carol Rivas Zeledon, vice president); and Valley Worldwide Logistics Solutions, Mapleton, N.D. (Wayne D. Larson, vice president of global marketing).
   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.
