FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Petition No. P5-17]


Petition of Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd. for an Exemption; 
Notice of Filing and Request for Comments

    Notice is hereby given that Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd. 
(``Petitioner''), has petitioned the Commission pursuant to 46 CFR 
502.94 for an exemption from filing individual service contract 
amendments.
    Petitioner states that it will soon ``. . . acquire the assets of 
the container shipping divisions of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (``K 
Line''); Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., (``MOL''); and Nippon Yusen Kaisha 
(``NYK'') on or about April 1, 2018, at which point [the Petitioner] 
will operate as an ocean common carrier.'' Petitioner states it will 
obtain approximately 4,800 service contracts from K Line, MOL, and NYK. 
Petitioner claims ``[it] would be an undue burden on [itself] and its 
shipper parties to prepare and file an individual amendment for each of 
these service contracts.'' Petitioner claims ``[the] relief sought in 
this petition is . . . purely administrative in nature.'' Petitioner 
intends to issue a ``. . . notice that will cross-reference [its new] 
tariffs, which will govern the assigned service contracts, thereby 
eliminating the need to amend the service contracts to identify the 
[Petitioner's] tariffs as the governing tariffs.''
    In order for the Commission to make a thorough evaluation of the 
exemption requested in the Petition, interested parties are requested 
to submit views or arguments in reply to the Petition no later than 
January 10, 2018. Replies shall be sent to the Secretary by email to 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4013252332253421323900262d236e272f36"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a0f3c5c3d2c5d4c1d2d9e0c6cdc38ec7cfd6">[email protected]</span></a> or by mail to Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North 
Capitol Street NW, Washington, DC 20573-0001, and replies shall be 
served on Petitioner's counsels, Wayne R. Rhode, Cozen O' Connor, 1200

<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1546707667706174676c557378763b727a63"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4112242233243520333801272c226f262e37">[email protected]</span></a> and include in the subject line: P5-17 (Commenter/
Company). Confidential filings should not be filed by email. A 
confidential filing must be filed with the Secretary in hard copy only, 
and be accompanied by a transmittal letter that identifies the filing 
as ``Confidential-Restricted'' and describes the nature and extent of 
the confidential treatment requested. The Commission will provide 
confidential treatment to the extent allowed by law for confidential 
submissions, or parts of submissions, for which confidentiality has 
been requested. When a confidential filing is submitted, there must 
also be submitted a public version of the filing. Such public filing 
version shall exclude confidential materials, and shall indicate on the 
cover page and on each affected page ``Confidential materials 
excluded.'' Public versions of confidential filings may be submitted by 
email. The Petition will be posted on the Commission's website at

will also be posted on the Commission's website at this location.
