FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 23-14]


D.F. Young, Incorporated, Complainant v. Wallenius Wilhelmsen 
Logistics, Respondent; Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

Served: December 13, 2023.
    Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal 
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by D.F. Young, Incorporated 
(the ``Complainant'') against Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (the 
``Respondent''). Complainant states that the Commission has 
jurisdiction over the complaint pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 41301, 40904, 
41102, and 41104 and 46 CFR 515.42.
    Complainant is a corporation organized and existing under the laws 
of Pennsylvania with a principal place of business in Berwyn, 
Pennsylvania and is in the business of providing services as an ocean 
transportation intermediary and operates as a non-vessel operating 
common carrier.
    Complainant identifies Respondent as a corporation organized and 
existing under the laws of New York with a principal place of business 
in Parsippany, New Jersey and as a common carrier of goods by water for 
hire.
    Complainant alleges that Respondent violated 46 U.S.C. 41102 and 46 
CFR 515.42 regarding a failure to establish, observe, and enforce just 
and reasonable practices relating to receiving, handling, storing, and 
delivering property and a failure to pay compensation when the common 
carrier's tariff provides for such payment. Complainant alleges these 
violations arose from a refusal to compensate for freight forwarding 
services on shipments of automobiles in accordance with the terms of 
the applicable tariff following demand for such compensation.
    An answer to the complaint must be filed with the Commission within 
25 days after the date of service.
    The full text of the complaint can be found in the Commission's 
electronic Reading Room at https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/23-14/. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of 
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge 
shall be issued by December 13, 2024, and the final decision of the 
Commission shall be issued by June 27, 2025.
