FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 23–12] 

Notice of Filing of Complaint and 

Assignment; 20230930–DK–Butterfly– 

1, Inc., Complainant v. MSC 

Mediterranean Shipping Company SA, 

Respondent 

Served: November 28, 2023. 

Notice is given that a complaint has 

been filed with the Federal Maritime 

Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) by 

20230930–DK–Butterfly–1, Inc. (the 

‘‘Complainant’’) against MSC 

Mediterranean Shipping Company SA 

(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 

has personal jurisdiction over 

Respondent as an ‘‘ocean common 

carrier’’ that has entered into a ‘‘service 

contract’’, as these terms are defined in 

the Shipping Act at 46 U.S.C. 40102. 

Complainant is a corporation existing 

under the laws of New York with a 

mailing address in Union, New Jersey. 

Prior to filing a change of name 

certificate to its present name, the 

Complainant’s corporate name was Bed 

Bath & Beyond Inc. For the purposes of 

the allegations of the complaint, the 

Complainant was a ‘‘shipper’’ as this 

term is defined by 46 U.S.C. 40102(23). 

Complainant identifies Respondent 

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company 

SA as a company existing under the 

laws of Switzerland with a principal 

place of business located in Geneva, 

Switzerland and as a vessel-operating 

‘‘ocean common carrier’’ as this term is 

defined by 46 U.S.C. 40102(18). 

Complainant alleges that Respondent 

violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c), 41102(d), 

41104(a)(2), 41104(a)(10) and 46 CFR 

545.5 regarding a failure to establish, 

observe, and enforce just and reasonable 

practices relating to receiving, handling, 

storing, and delivering property; a 

failure to provide service in the liner 

trade that is in accordance with a 

service contract; an unreasonable refusal 

to deal or negotiate; and retaliation 

against a shipper. Complainant alleges 

these violations arose from a condition 

on performance requiring the payment 

of extracontractual prices and 

surcharges, such as peak season 

surcharges, and amendments or 

premium rate addenda to service 

contracts prior to full performance of its 

service commitments; a failure to 

allocate space as agreed upon and 

instead, allocating space to shippers 

willing to pay higher freight prices; an 

unreasonable assessment of demurrage 

and detention charges during periods of 

congestion and shortages of equipment 

at ports; and a refusal to accommodate 

requests for a full or partial refund of 

demurrage and detention charges. 

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/23-12/. This 

proceeding has been assigned to the 

Office of Administrative Law Judges. 

The initial decision of the presiding 

judge shall be issued by November 27, 

2024, and the final decision of the 

Commission shall be issued by June 11, 

2025.
