OEF; that Respondents Louis J.
Mischianti, David Cardenas, and Keith
Heffernan, are the partners in Olympus
Partners, and were officers and directors
of Global Link; that Respondent CJR
World Enterprises, Inc. (‘‘CJR’’), is a
Florida corporation that was an owner
of Global Link; and that Respondent
Chad Rosenberg is the owner of CJR and
was an officer and director of Global
Link.
Complainant alleges that Respondents
violated the Shipping Act of 1984, as
amended (‘‘Shipping Act’’), by: (1)
Engaging in a deliberate scheme to
obtain ocean transportation of property
at rates lower than the applicable
service contract or tariff rates; and (2)
failing to establish, observe and enforce
just and reasonable practices relating to
or connected with receiving, handling,
and delivering property. 46 U.S.C.
41102(a), (c). Complainant also asserts
that Respondents violated the
Commission’s regulations at 46 CFR
515.31(e) which prohibits preparation or
filing of false or fraudulent claims or
false information relative to an Ocean
Transportation Intermediary
transaction. Complainant claims that, as
a direct result of Respondents’ actions,
Complainant suffered damages of no
less than $4.5 million.
Specifically, Complainant MOL
asserts that it provided transportation to
Global Link subject to MOL’s tariff
rules; including rules related to the
diversion of cargo, defined as a change
in the original billed destination.
Complainant maintains that its tariff
rules require shippers to request
diversion of cargo in writing and require
payment of a diversion charge, as well
as the difference in price between the
original and new destination.
Complainant alleges that Respondent
Global Link booked cargo to false inland
destinations while intending to deliver
the cargo to different inland
destinations, and diverted cargo without
submitting a request to Complainant or
paying Complainant the difference in
rate and the applicable diversion
changes. Complainant claims that
Respondents referred to this practice as
‘‘split routing,’’ ‘‘mis-booking,’’ and rerouting.’’ This practice, Complainant
contends, resulted in lower rates paid to
Complainant than the rates applicable to
the actual destinations.
Complainant requests that the
Commission: (1) Require Respondents to
answer the charges in this Complaint;
(2) order Respondents to cease and
desist from the violations of the
Shipping Act; (3) establish and put in
force such practices as the Commission
determines lawful and reasonable; (3)
order Respondents to pay to the

Complainant reparations plus interests,
costs and attorney’s fees, and any other
damages to be determined; and (4) take
any other action or provide any other
relief as the Commission determines to
be proper, fair and just under the
circumstances. Complainant also
requests that a hearing be held in
Washington, DC.
This proceeding has been assigned to
the Office of Administrative Law Judges.
Hearing in this matter, if any is held,
shall commence within the time
limitations prescribed in 46 CFR 502.61,
and only after consideration has been
given by the parties and the presiding
officer to the use of alternative forms of
dispute resolution. The hearing shall
include oral testimony and crossexamination in the discretion of the
presiding officer only upon proper
showing that there are genuine issues of
material fact that cannot be resolved on
the basis of sworn statements, affidavits,
depositions, or other documents or that
the nature of the matter in issue is such
that an oral hearing and crossexamination are necessary for the
development of an adequate record.
Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR
502.61, the initial decision of the
presiding officer in this proceeding shall
be issued by May 14, 2010, and the final
decision of the Commission shall be
issued by September 13, 2010.

Secretary.
