Between January 8, 2015 and June 27, 2015, Respondent knowingly 

and willfully permitted an unrelated, non-signatory party to access 

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. service contracts Nos. SZH5002404

third party at less than the rates and charges that would otherwise

U.S.C. § 41109(a), and Subpart W of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, 46 C.F.R.

Respondent, its officers, directors, or employees with respect to the alleged 

violations set forth and described above that occurred between January 8, 2015 and 

June 27, 2015.

3. It is expressly understood that this Agreement is not, and is not to be construed as, 

an admission by Respondent to the alleged violations set forth and described above. 

5. This Agreement is subject to approval by the Commission’s Managing Director in 

accordance with 46 C.F.R. § 502.604.
