K.E.I. Enterprise dba KEI Logix v.
Greenwest Activewear, Inc.; Greenwest
Activewear, Inc. v. K.E.I. Enterprise
dba KEI Logix and Great White Fleet,
Ltd.; Notice of Filing of CrossComplaint
Notice is given that a cross-complaint
has been filed with the Federal
Maritime Commission (‘‘Commission’’)
by Greenwest Activewear, Inc. (‘‘CrossComplainant’’) against K.E.I. Enterprise
dba KEI Logix (‘‘KEI Logix’’) and Great
White Fleet, Ltd. (‘‘Great White’’)
(collectively, ‘‘Cross-Respondents’’) in
this proceeding noticed at 72 FR 32,666.
Cross-Complainant alleges that CrossRespondents violated the Shipping Act
of 1984 by failing to establish, observe
and enforce just and reasonable
practices in connection with its
shipments of fabric to Guatemala. 46
U.S.C. 41102(c). Cross-Complainant is
demanding that Cross-Respondents pay
its claim of $152,152.90 for loss of cargo
plus attorneys fees. In the alternative,
Cross-Complainant asks that its request
for damages be offset ‘‘by the amount of
freight charges claimed by KEI Logix
less the amount of KEI Logix invoice
relative to the lost shipment * * * and
the difference paid to them.’’
Cross-Complainant asserts that it
booked the transport of fabric in August
2006 with KEI Logix from Port
Hueneme, California, to Villanueva,
Guatemala. KEI Logix and Great White
issued separate bills of lading as
through bills to the aforementioned
ports in California and Guatemala. Great
White issued its bill of lading depicting
KEI Logix as the shipper. CrossComplainant alleges that the cargo was
stolen while in transit by an inland
carrier in Guatemala booked by Great
White. In September 2006, CrossComplainant filed its claim of
$152,152.90 for the stolen cargo with
KEI Logix, who then presented the
claim to Great White for disposition.
Cross-Complainant contends that
Great White wrongfully denied the
claim by evoking force majeure
pursuant to an inland bill of lading that
Cross-Complainant believes was never
produced. Moreover, Cross-Complainant
asserts that Great White failed to prove
that the goods were released in
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
Guatemala with the customary escort
and security practices required of all
carriers for that particular area.
Cross-Complainant alleges that it
negotiated the disposition of its claim
directly with KEI Logix and continued
to do business with the company. CrossComplainant contends that in May
2007, KEI Logix not only breached the
agreement reached by the parties for the
disposition of the claim, but also
refused to deliver three containers in
transit unless Cross-Complainant
immediately paid the full amount of its
outstanding invoices. CrossComplainant alleges that KEI Logix did
this to recoup the money that it owed
to Cross-Complainant in their
agreement. Accordingly, to mitigate its
prospective damages attributable to KEI
Logix’s breach, Cross-Complainant
asserts that it had no alternative but to
tender three checks totaling $101,019.08
for the release of its containers, then to
place a stop-payment order on them.
Cross-Complainant claims that it offered
to reissue the checks and to pay $2,500
in attorneys fees, but KEI Logix declined
the offer.
Cross-Complainant requests that the
Commission require Cross-Respondents
to pay reparations of $152,152.90 for the
stolen cargo plus attorneys fees, and to
mitigate damages relative to freight
charges. Additionally, CrossComplainant requests that any hearings
be conducted in either Washington, DC
at the Federal Maritime Commission or
in Los Angeles, California.

Secretary.
