FMC reviews 12 OTI license applications

Individuals 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.

   The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has received 12 ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) license applications and changes for review.
   The FMC received a non-vessel-operating common carrier license application from Aspire Worldwide, San Gabriel, Calif. (Lizhen Yang, president).
   The agency received NVO/ocean freight forwarder license applications from Asiana Resources, Los Angeles (Joseph Cohen, director); Embarque Los Hidalgos, Paterson, N.J. (Juan Santos, manager); and Miray Golden, Miami (Aaron Arthur R. Montes De Oca, member).
   The FMC also received ocean freight forwarder license applications from Novomarine Cargo Leader, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Denis Trofimov, director), and Rodom, Miami (Gabriela V. Hernandez, vice president).
   In addition, the agency received license applications for changes to qualifying individuals from Dartrans, Baltimore (Bridget Lowy, president); Global Vision Group, Statesville, N.C. (Ashley Hicks, assistant vice president); Immediate Customs Service, Rosedale, N.Y. (Kevin D. Rea, vice president); Lotte Global Logistics (USA), Cypress, Calif. (Jae S. Kim, secretary); and Tech Cargo, Doral, Fla. (Alberto J. Campo, managing member); and for a license transfer to Altun Logistics USA from Armada USA, North Bergen, N.J. (Mustafa O. Cakir, manager). 
   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.
