FMC reviews eight OTI license applications

   The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has received eight ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) license applications and changes for review.
   The FMC received a non-vessel-operating common carrier license application from ACS USA, El Monte, Calif. (John J. Zhang, member).
   The agency also received license applications for changes to qualifying individuals from Consolidated Freight & Shipping, Medley, Fla. (Syd A. Mogg, vice president of operations); Econocaribe Consolidators, Miami (Lance Rule, executive vice president); Exacta International, Moonachie, N.J. (Stephan A. Hottenrott, president); LF Logistics USA, New York (Terence Y. Tsang, vice president); Trans-World Shipping Service, Toledo, Ohio (Regan J. Smith, president); and US Global Shipping, Greensboro, N.C. (Haitham Hussein, vice president); and for a license transfer to Ippco Global Services, La Mirada, Calif. (Jay I. Gamble, 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. 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.
