Complainant asserts that it is a corporation organized and existing pursuant to the laws of India and registered as a foreign corporation in the State of Virginia and a duly licensed and bonded non-vesseloperating common carrier (‘‘NVOCC’’). Complainant alleges that Respondent DAMCO US is a Delaware corporation and a licensed NVOCC and freight forwarder, that Respondent DAMCO A/S is a corporation organized and existing pursuant to the laws of Denmark and an NVOCC registered with the Commission; and that Respondent MAERSK is a corporation organized and existing pursuant to the laws of Denmark and a vessel-operating common carrier operating in the U.S. global trades.

Complainant alleges that Respondent DAMCO A/S provided NVOCC services to Complainant. DAMCO A/S retained MAERSK as the ocean common carrier and DAMCO US as delivery agent for the shipments at issue.
