FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION 

[Docket No. FMC–2024–0005] 

Controlled Carriers Under the Shipping 

Act of 1984 

AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Maritime 

Commission is publishing an updated 

list of controlled carriers, i.e., ocean 

common carriers operating in U.S.- 

foreign trades that are, or whose 

operating assets are, directly or 

indirectly owned or controlled by 

foreign governments. Such carriers are 

subject to increased regulatory oversight 

by the Commission. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

David Eng, Secretary; Phone: (202) 523– 

5725; Email: secretary@fmc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Maritime Commission is 

updating the list of controlled carriers to 

add an entity that qualifies as a 

controlled carrier, and to remove an 

entity that no longer qualifies as a 

controlled carrier. The Shipping Act of 

1984, as amended (Shipping Act), 

defines a ‘‘controlled carrier’’ as an 

ocean common carrier that is, or whose 

operating assets are, directly or 

indirectly owned or controlled by a 

government. 46 U.S.C. 40102(9). 

Ownership or control by a government 

is deemed to exist for a carrier if (1) a 

majority of the interest in the carrier is 

owned or controlled in any manner by 

that government, an agency of that 

government, or a public or private 

person controlled by that government, 

or (2) that government has the right to 

appoint or disapprove the appointment 

of a majority of the directors, the chief 

operating officer, or the chief executive 

officer of the carrier. Id.; 46 CFR 

565.2(a). 

As required by the Shipping Act, 

controlled carriers are subject to 

enhanced oversight by the Commission. 

For example, 46 U.S.C. 40701(b) 

provides that the Commission may, after 

providing notice and opportunity for a 

hearing, prohibit the publication or use 

of a rate, charge, classification, rule, or 

regulation that a controlled carrier has 

failed to demonstrate is just and 

reasonable. See 46 U.S.C. 40701(b). In 

addition, 46 U.S.C. 40502(f) provides 

that in an action for a breach of a service 

contract, the dispute resolution forum 

cannot in any way be controlled by or 

affiliated with a controlled carrier or by 

the government that owns or controls 

the carrier. See 46 U.S.C. 40502(f). 

Congress enacted these protections to 

ensure that controlled carriers, whose 

marketplace decision making can be 

influenced by foreign governmental 

priorities or by their access to nonmarket sources of capital, do not engage 

in unreasonable below-market pricing 

practices which could disrupt trade or 

harm privately-owned shipping 

companies. 

The controlled carrier list is not a 

comprehensive list of foreign-owned or 

controlled ships or ship owners; rather, 

it is only a list of ocean common carriers 

that are controlled by governments. See 

46 U.S.C. 40102(9). Thus, tramp 

operators and other non-common 

carriers are not included, nor are nonvessel-operating common carriers, 

regardless of their ownership or control. 

The controlled carrier list was last 

updated on April 30, 2019. See 84 FR 

18284. This notice revises the list to add 

Hede (HONGKONG) International 

Shipping Limited as a controlled carrier. 

This notice also revises the list to reflect 

that COSCO Shipping Lines (Europe) 

GmbH is no longer providing common 

carriage in the United States trades and 

is therefore no longer a controlled 

carrier. There are no changes to report 

with respect to the remaining controlled 

carriers. 

It is requested that any other 

information regarding possible 

omissions or inaccuracies in this list be 

provided to the Commission’s Office of 

the General Counsel at generalcounsel@

fmc.gov. See 46 CFR 501.12. 

The amended list of currently 

classified controlled carriers and their 

corresponding Commission-issued 

Registered Persons Index numbers is set 

forth below: 

(1) COSCO SHIPPING Lines Co., Ltd. 

(RPI No. 015614)—People’s Republic of 

China; 

(2) Orient Overseas Container Line 

Limited (RPI No. 011398)—People’s 

Republic of China; 

(3) OOCL (Europe) Limited (RPI No. 

024786)—People’s Republic of China; 

(4) Hede (HONGKONG) International 

Shipping Limited (RPI No. 033332)— 

People’s Republic of China. 

By the Commission.

Ltd., Evergreen Marine (UK) Ltd., Italia 

Marittima SpA, Evergreen Marine 

(Hong Kong) Ltd., and Evergreen 

Marine (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., 

Respondents 

Served: February 21, 2024. 

Notice is given that a complaint has 

been filed with the Federal Maritime 

Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) by 

20230930–DK–BUTTERFLY–1, Inc. 

formerly known as Bed Bath & Beyond 

Inc. (the ‘‘Complainant’’) against 

Evergreen Line Joint Service Agreement 

(FMC #011982) consisting of Evergreen 

Marine Corp. (Taiwan) Ltd., Evergreen 

Marine (UK) Limited, Italia Marittima 

SpA, Evergreen Marine (Hong Kong) 

Ltd., and Evergreen Marine (Singapore) 

Pte. Ltd. (the ‘‘Respondents’’). 

Complainant states that the Commission 

has subject matter jurisdiction over the 

complaint pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 41301 

through 41309 and personal jurisdiction 

over the Respondents as each is an 

‘‘ocean common carrier,’’ as this term is 

defined by 46 U.S.C. 40102(18), that has 

entered into a ‘‘service contract,’’ as this 

term is defined by 46 U.S.C. 40102(21), 

with the Complainant. 

Complainant is a corporation existing 

under the laws of New York that was 

formerly known as Bed Bath & Beyond 

Inc. and a ‘‘shipper,’’ as this term is 

defined by 46 U.S.C. 40102(23), for the 

purposes of the allegations of the 

complaint. 

Complainant identifies Respondent 

Evergreen Line Joint Service Agreement 

(FMC #011982) as a vessel-operating 

ocean common carrier consisting of 

Evergreen Marine Corp. (Taiwan) Ltd., 

Evergreen Marine (UK) Limited, Italia 

Marittima SpA, Evergreen Marine (Hong 

Kong) Ltd., Evergreen Marine 

(Singapore) Pte. Ltd., and Evergreen

Complainant identifies Respondent 

Evergreen Marine Corp. (Taiwan) Ltd. as 

a company existing under the laws of 

Taiwan with a principal place of 

business in Taipei City and as a vesseloperating ocean common carrier. 

Complainant identifies Respondent 

Evergreen Marine (UK) Limited as a 

company existing under the laws of the 

United Kingdom with a principal place 

of business located in London, England 

and as a vessel-operating ocean common 

carrier. 

Complainant identifies Respondent 

Italia Marittima SpA as a company 

existing under the laws of Italy with a 

principal place of business in Trieste, 

Italy and as a vessel-operating ocean 

common carrier. 

Complainant identifies Respondent 

Evergreen Marine (Hong Kong) Ltd. as a 

company existing under the laws of 

Hong Kong with a principal place of 

business in Wan Chai, Hong Kong and 

as a vessel-operating ocean common 

carrier. 

Complainant identifies Respondent 

Evergreen Marine (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.

violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c), 41104(a)(2), 

and 41104(a)(10) and 46 CFR 545.5. 

Complainant alleges these violations 

arose from a practice of systematically 

failing to meet service commitments, a 

requirement that extracontractual 

surcharges be paid prior to performance 

of service commitments, and an 

unreasonable assessment of demurrage 

and detention charges and the acts or 

omissions of the Respondents that led to 

this assessment. 

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/24-11/. This 

proceeding has been assigned to the 

Office of Administrative Law Judges. 

The initial decision of the presiding 

judge shall be issued by February 21, 

2025, and the final decision of the 

Commission shall be issued by 

September 5, 2025.
