FMC Terminates Licenses of 130 OTI- Freight Forwarders and NVOCCs

The Federal Maritime Commission recently published formal notices in the Federal Register to advise the shipping public that 130 ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) licenses have been terminated. These include both OTI-Freight Forwarders and OTI-NVOCCs; the complete list follows. The FMC terminated most of these OTI licenses because the licensees failed to maintain valid surety bonds for forwarding or NVOCC operations. Licenses surrendered voluntarily to the FMC are so noted. All these licensees are US based organizations.

Due to the large volume of OTI license applications filed since April 1999, the FMC has had difficulty in keeping up with the publication of termination notices, and with the approval process for new applicants. Recently, the Commission’s staff completed an audit of its OTI bond records, and this resulted in these termination notices. The Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Complaints and Licensing has also audited its records of OTI licenses and NVOCC tariff publications. Additional termination notices as result of this audit are expected shortly.

Four (4) digit license numbers (FMC #) and license numbers ending with
the letter “R” are OTI-Freight Forwarders; license numbers ending with
“N” are OTI-NVOCCs; license numbers ending with “NF” are for
organizations licensed as both ocean freight forwarders and NVOCC. For

 OTI License Numbers Required on Bills of Lading and Documentation   

Many recently licensed Ocean Transportation Intermediaries (OTIs) are not aware of the FMC requirement to print their OTI license numbers on bills of lading and other shipping documents. FMC licensing regulations (46CFR Part 515.31) require each OTI to include its FMC number along with its legal name, as registered with the FMC, on all shipping documents. Additionally, OTIs are required to permanently imprint their FMC license numbers on office stationery and billing forms. The regulation does not specific exactly where on bills of lading or stationary the FMC-OTI license number should be printed.

The Commission may temporarily waive this requirement for good cause shown if the licensee rubber stamps or types its name and Commission license number on all papers and invoices concerned with any ocean transportation intermediary transaction.
