The Federal Maritime Commission received
a complaint of Shipping Act violations from K.E.I Enterprise d/b/a KEI Logix, a
FMC licensed NVOCC based in California, against Greenwest Activewear, Inc., a garment exporter
doing business principally in California.  K.E.I alleges that Greenwest violated the Shipping Act of 1984 by obtaining ocean
transportation for property at less than rates or charges that would otherwise have been applied, and has asked the
Commission to order Greenwest to answer these allegations, cease and desist from said Shipping Act violation, and to
make a payment of $108,019.08 in way of repartitions with interest and attorney’s fees.

According to Docket 07-05, K.E.I. claims that it transported fabric from the United States to Guatemala on behalf
of Greenwest on an ongoing basis in 2006.  Problems arose between K.E.I. and Greenwest after Greenwest filed a
claim with K.E.I. demanding reimbursement for cargo stolen in transit by an inland carrier in Guatemala.
 K.E.I. refused to make reimbursements, and as a result Greenwest refused to pay freight charges for other
shipments made with K.E.I.  In response K.E.I. refused to release cargo in its possession belonging to
Greenwest until payment of due freight charges was received.  K.E.I. claims a compromise was reached with
Greenwest in which Greenwest agreed to pay due freight charges totaling $101,019.08 in exchange for release of the
cargo. On May 16, 2007, K.E.I. claims it received three postdated checks totaling $101,019.08 from Greenwest as
payment of the freight charges.  As per the compromise, that same day K.E.I. released Greenwest’s
cargo.  However, on May 17, 2007, K.E.I. claims it was informed by Greenwest’s bank that a stop-payment
order on all three postdated checks had been issued, and thus payment for freight charges was not received.

K.E.I. claims that this is a violation of the Shipping Act and asserts that Greenwest “knowingly and
willfully, by means of unjust or unfair device, obtained ocean transportation for property at less than the rates or
charges” that K.E.I. would have applied, by inducing K.E.I. to release the cargo, and then issuing a
stop-payment order on the checks used to pay the due freight.  K.E.I. has requested the Commission to order
Greenwest to answer these allegations, cease and desist from said Shipping Act violation, and to make a payment of
$108,019.08 in way of repartitions with interest and attorney’s fees.  The FMC issued this Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment in Docket No. 07-05 on June 13,
2007. This docket has been assigned to Administrative Law Judge Clay G. Guthridge, and an initial decision in this docket is to be
issued no later than June 6, 2008, with a final decision to be issued by October 6, 2008.

The Federal Maritime Commission announced additional information requirements for the FMC Form-18 – the Ocean
Transportation Intermediary (OTI) license application.  Currently, the application form requests applications
to explain any prior bankruptcies. However, new language added to the FMC-18 form will expand the information
required to include prior tax liens and legal judgments rendered for debts.  The FMC will require this
additional financial information from not only Qualifying Individuals, but also from all partners, directors,
officers and shareholders.

The FMC requires persons or businesses wishing to operate or advertise as Ocean Freight Forwarders (OFF) or
Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCC) in the USA to obtain OTI licenses before they begin advertising or
operating.  All OTI license applicants are subject to rigorous investigation by the FMC’s Bureau of Certification and Licensing (BCL) to determine if they have the necessary experience
and character to render OTI services in compliance with the Shipping Act and FMC regulations.  With this newly
added language the FMC is emphasizing the need for OTIs to have sound financial backgrounds.  The FMC issued a
Notice and Request for Comments on this matter on June 8, 2007.  Comments regarding this
Notice must be submitted to the FMC by August 7, 2007.  For the full notice and further information regarding
OTI license requirements please visit the FMC website at www.fmc.gov.
