In addition, the agency received applications for changes to a qualifying individual from GrayLion Logistics, Jacksonville, Fla. (Kinda Amirdash, vice president); and SR International Logistics, Denver (David O. Ross, president); and for a transfer to Asia Shipping Integrated Logistics USA from Intercargo USA Corp., Davie, Fla. (Gerben Zwaga, vice president).
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., at (202) 523-5843. Lists of licensed OTIs (applications approved, bonds in place and fully licensed) — both ocean freight forwarders and NVOs — are also available on the FMC website.
