of Complaint and Assignment

Served: June 5, 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 HMM Co., Ltd. f/k/a Hyundai 
Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. (the ``Respondent''). Complainant states that 
the Commission has subject matter jurisdiction over the complaint 
pursuant to the Shipping Act of 1984, as amended, 46 U.S.C. 40101 et 
seq. and personal jurisdiction over the Respondent as a common carrier 
and 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.

its corporate office in Seoul, Korea, that does business in the United

    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 assessment of detention 
and demurrage charges on ``store door'' shipments for reasons not 
within the control of Complainant, issuance of invoices for detention 
and demurrage charges that did not contain the information required, 
threats to refuse and refusals of available cargo space accommodation, 
and other acts and omissions of the Respondents.
    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/24-23/. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of 
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge 
shall be issued by June 5, 2025, and the final decision of the 
Commission shall be issued by December 19, 2025.
