FMC collects $500K in penalties
The Federal Maritime Commission has completed compromise agreements with five non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs), two unlicensed transport businesses, and one vessel-operating common carrier — recovering a total of $503,000 in civil penalties, according to a statement from FMC Chairman Mario Cordero.
The penalties resulted from investigations conducted by the Commission's Area Representatives in Miami and Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. headquarters staff. The FMC said parties settled and agreed to the penalties, but did not admit to violations of the Shipping Act or the Commission's regulations.
According to the FMC statement, the compromise settlements were as follows: Hayek Services, $20,000; ABC Trucking and Logistics $23,000; FCC Logistics $70,000; Sea Central Shipping $85,000; China Container Line $100,000; Orient Star Transport International $100,000; and Eastern Car Liner $105,000.
