FMC reviews 11 OTI license applications

The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has received 11 ocean transportation intermediary license applications and changes for review.

   The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has received 11 ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) license applications and changes for review.
   The FMC received non-vessel-operating common carrier license applications from Mermaid Logistics, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (Robert Juhasz, member); One-Ocean Cargo, Medley, Fla. (Jennifer A. Battaglia, manager); and Silkroad, Los Angeles (Turbat Enkhbaatar, chief operating officer).
   The agency received NVO/ocean freight forwarder license applications from Angelic Solution Spot, Capitol Heights, Md. (Ozoemenam P. Ohagwu, CEO); HTT Cargo, Arcadia, Calif. (Ryan Lee, president); Join the Moment Forwarding Corp., Miami (Michael T. Johansen, vice president of the Americas); and Quartz Logistics, Jamaica, N.Y. (Tian X. Huang, secretary).
   The FMC also received ocean freight forwarder license applications from Eagle & Whale, Lake Worth, Fla. (Christopher S. Kennedy, president), and Inline Freight System, Diamond Bar, Calif. (Chung “Pamela” Y. Mun, president).
   In addition, the agency received license applications for changes to qualifying individuals from Destination Freight, Los Angeles (Janeshia Woolridge, member), and Koch Maritime, St. Paul, Minn. (John M. Felland, vice president of operations).
   Persons knowing of any reason why an applicant should not receive an OTI license or amendment are urged to contact the FMC’s Office of Transportation Intermediaries in Washington, D.C. Lists of licensed OTIs (applications approved, bonds in place and fully licensed) — both ocean freight forwarders and NVOs — also are available on the FMC website.
