Lines Co., Ltd., Respondent; Notice of Filing of Complaint and 
Assignment

Served: March 28, 2024.
    Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal 
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by Samsung Electronics 
America, Inc. (the ``Complainant'') against COSCO Shipping Lines Co., 
Ltd. (the ``Respondent''). Complainant states that the Commission has 
subject matter jurisdiction over this complaint pursuant to the 
Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40101, et seq. and personal 
jurisdiction over the Respondent as a common carrier and as a vessel-
operating ocean common carrier as these terms are defined in 46 U.S.C. 
40102.
    Complainant is a corporation organized and existing under the laws 
of the State of New York with a principal place of business in 
Ridgefield Park, New Jersey.
    Complainant identifies Respondent as a global ocean carrier with 
its corporate office in Shanghai, China who conducts business in the 
United States under COSCO Shipping (North America) Inc. with its 
principal corporate office in Secaucus, New Jersey.
    Complainant alleges that Respondent violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c) and 
(d), and 41104(a)(3), (10), (14), and (15); and 46 CFR 545.4 and 545.5. 
Complainant alleges these violations arose from a failure to perform 
and a delay in performance of inland transportation obligations on 
``store door'' shipments, and other acts and omissions of the 
Respondent, that resulted in damages, such as unreasonable costs, 
demurrage and detention charges, and delay.
    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

shall be issued by March 28, 2025, and the final decision of the 
Commission shall be issued by October 14, 2025.
