Panalpina Inc. v. Eastern

Mediterranean Shipping Corp., Notice

of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

Notice is given that a complaint filed

by Panalpina Inc. (‘‘Complainant’’)

against Eastern Mediterranean Shipping

Corp. (‘‘Respondent’’) was served July

15, 1998. Complainant alleges that

Respondent has violated sections

10(b)(6)(D) and 10(d)(1) of the Shipping

Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. app.

§§ 1709(b)(6)(D) and (d)(1), by accepting

two shipments for through movement,

but failing to provide information as to

the status and location of the shipments,

failing to provide for the transhipment

of the containers, failing to deliver the

shipments to the designated consignees,

retaining prepaid ocean freight charges

received for the through movement of

the shipments, and causing

Complainant to incur additional storage,

demurrage and ocean freight charges.

This proceeding has been assigned to

the office of Administrative Law Judges.

Hearing in this matter if any is held,

shall commence within the tine

limitations prescribed in 46 CFR 502.61,

and only after consideration has been

given by the parties and the presiding

officer to the use of alternative forms of

dispute resolution. The hearing shall

include oral testimony and crossexamination in the discretion of the

presiding officer only upon proper

showing that there are genuine issues of

material fact that cannot be resolved on

the basis of sworn statements, affidavits,

depositions, or other documents or that

the nature of the matter in issue is such

that an oral hearing and crossexamination are necessary for the

development of an adequate record.

Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR

502.61, the initial decision of the

presiding officer in this proceeding shall

be issued by July 15, 1999, and the final

decision of the Commission shall be
