FMC reviews 14 OTI license applications

Reasons why an applicant should not receive an OTI license or amendment should be reported to the FMC’s 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 GCL Transportation, Chino, Calif. (Sylvia S. Li, chief operating officer); KCI Logistics, Carson, Calif. (Aeyoung Park, CEO); and MCB Logistics, Compton, Calif. (David Yao, vice president).
   The agency received a NVO/ocean freight forwarder license application from RM Shipping & Customs, Miami (Yissel Munoz, president); West Tech Shipping, Doral, Fla. (Becxi Santos, member); and Wonder Shipping, Ontario, Calif. (Rui Zhang, president).
   The FMC also received ocean freight forwarder license applications from Faith H. Davis & Associates, Olive Branch, Miss. (Faith H. Davis, manager); and Makati Express Cargo, Jersey City, N.J. (Harizza J. Sarayba, member).
   In addition, the agency received license applications for changes to qualifying individuals from ABS-CBN International, Daly City, Calif. (Noel Kenery, operations manager); Alaska Seavan, Seattle (Todd L. Halverson, CEO); Ansa McAl (U.S.), Miami (Debbie M. Lawrence-Martinez, operations manager); and Plexis Services, Inglewood, Calif. (Ferry Soen, secretary); for a license transfer to Arya Logistics from One World Logistics, Dallas (Faheem Chhapra, director of sales); and for the addition of trade name The Way USA from Pacific Marine Express, North Hills, Calif. (Mina Kim, CEO).
   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.
