Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal Maritime Commission (‘‘Commission’’) by Maher Terminal, LLC. Complainant asserts that it is a limited liability company registered in the State of Delaware with corporate offices and facilities located in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Complainant asserts that Respondent, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (‘‘PANYNJ’’), is a body corporate and politic created by Compact between the States of New York and New Jersey and with the consent of the Congress; has offices located in New York, New York; owns marine terminal facilities in the New York-New Jersey area, including in Elizabeth, New Jersey; and is a marine terminal operator within the meaning of the Shipping Act of 1984, as amended (‘‘The Shipping Act’’). See 46 U.S.C. 40102(14). Complainant contends that Respondent violated sections 41102(c) and 41106(2) and (3) of The Shipping Act, respectively, by: (1) Failing to establish, observe and enforce just and reasonable practices with respect to Complainant; (2) giving undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to APMT and imposing undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage with respect to Complainant; and (3) unreasonably refusing to deal or negotiate with Complainant. 46 U.S.C. 41102(c), 41106(2)–(3). Specifically, Complainant alleges that Respondent’s lease agreement EP–248 with APM Terminals North America, Inc., formerly known as Maersk Container Service Company, Inc. (‘‘APMT’’), grants to APMT unduly and unreasonably more favorable lease terms than Respondent provides to Complainant in lease agreement EP– 249. These agreements, Complainant avers, are filed with the Commission as FMC Agreement Nos. 201106 and 201131, respectively. Complainant contends that the lease terms which disadvantage Complainant include, but are not limited to, the annual rental rate per acre, investment requirements, throughput requirements, a first point of rest requirement for automobiles, and the security deposit requirement. Complainant asserts that it has sustained injuries and damages, as a result of Respondent’s actions, including but not limited to higher rents, costs, and other undue and unreasonable payments and obligations ADDRESSES: Dated: June 11, 2008.
