FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 02-04]


Anchor Shipping Co. v. Alianca Navegacao e Logistica LTDA.; 
Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal 
Maritime Commission (``Commission'') by Anchor Shipping Co. 
(``Complainant'') against Alianca Navegacao E Logistica Ltda. 
(``Alianca'').
    Complainant contends that Alianca engaged in a number of activities 
in connection with a service contract which violated sections 10(a)(2), 
10(a)(3), 10(b)(3) and 10(c)(1) of the Shipping Act of 1984 (``Shipping 
Act'') and injured the Complainant.
    Complainant asks that Alianca be compelled to answer its charges 
and that the Commission issue an order commanding Alianca to cease and 
desist from these violations; to establish and put in force such 
practices the Commission determines to be lawful and reasonable; to pay 
Complainant $1,000,000 in reparations, with interest and attorney's 
fees, or such other sum as the Commission may determine to be proper as 
an award of reparation; and such other further order as the Commission 
determines proper. Complainant requests that hearing be held in Miami, 
FL.
    This proceeding has been assigned to the office of Administrative 
Law Judges. Hearing in this matter, if any is held, shall commence 
within the time limitations prescribed in 46 CFR 502.61, and only after 
consideration has been given by the parties and the presiding officer 
to the use of alternative forms of dispute resolution. The hearing 
shall include oral testimony and cross-examination in the discretion of 
the presiding officer only upon proper showing that there are genuine 
issues of material fact that cannot be resolved on the basis of sworn 
statements, affidavits, depositions, or other documents or that the 
nature of the matter in issue is such that an oral hearing and cross-
examination are necessary for the development of an adequate record. 
Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR 502.61, the initial decision of 
the presiding officer in this proceeding shall be issued by March 13, 
2003, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by July 
11, 2003.

Bryant L. VanBrakle,
Secretary.
