FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
Controlled Carriers Under the Shipping
Act of 1984
Federal Maritime Commission.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Federal Maritime
Commission is publishing an updated
list of controlled carriers, i.e., ocean
common carriers operating in U.S.foreign trades that are owned or
controlled by foreign governments. Such
carriers are subject to special regulatory
oversight by the Commission under the
Shipping Act of 1984.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Tyler J. Wood, General Counsel, Federal
Maritime Commission, 800 North
Capitol Street NW., Washington, DC
20573 (202) 523–5740.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Maritime Commission is
publishing an updated list of controlled
carriers. Section 3(8) of the Shipping
Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. 40102(8)), defines
a ‘‘controlled carrier’’ as:
SUMMARY:
an ocean common carrier that is, or whose
operating assets are, directly or indirectly,
owned or controlled by a government, with
ownership or control by a government being
deemed to exist for a carrier if—
(A) a majority of the interest in the carrier
is owned or controlled in any manner by that
government, an agency of that government, or
a public or private person controlled by that
government; or
(B) that government has the right to
appoint or disapprove the appointment of a
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
majority of the directors, the chief operating
officer, or the chief executive officer of the
carrier.
As required by the Shipping Act,
controlled carriers are subject to special
oversight by the Commission. Section
9(a) of the Shipping Act (46 U.S.C.
40701(b)), states:
The Federal Maritime Commission, at any
time after notice and opportunity for a
hearing, may prohibit the publication or use
of a rate, charge, classification, rule, or
regulation that a controlled carrier has failed
to demonstrate is just and reasonable.
Congress enacted these protections to
ensure that controlled carries, whose
marketplace decision-making can be
influenced by foreign governmental
priorities or by their access to nonmarket sources of capital, do not engage
in unreasonable below-market pricing
practices which could disrupt trade or
harm privately-owned shipping
companies.
The controlled carrier list is not a
comprehensive list of foreign-owned or
-controlled ships or ship owners; rather,
it is only a list of ocean common carriers
that are controlled by governments. See
46 U.S.C. 40102(8). Thus, ocean
common carriers owned by foreign
individuals are not included, nor are
tramp operators, other non-common
carriers, or non-vessel-operating
common carriers, regardless of their
ownership or control.
Since the last publication of this list
on July 2, 2015 (80 FR 43427), there has
been a reduction in the number of
controlled carriers, due in part to the
spate of consolidation activity that has
occurred over the last two years. These
changes are described below.
Pursuant to 46 CFR 501.23, COSCO
SHIPPING Lines (Europe) GmbH
(formerly COSCO Container Lines
Europe GmbH) was classified as a
controlled carrier on November 9, 2015.
See Petition of COSCO Container Lines
Europe GmbH for an Exemption from 46
U.S.C. 40703, Docket No. P3–15 (Nov. 9,
2015). All tariffs for this carrier were
cancelled effective May 24, 2017. As a
result, COSCO SHIPPING Lines
(Europe) GmbH will not be added to this
republished controlled carrier list.
Two previously classified controlled
carriers, China Shipping Container
Lines, Co., Ltd. and COSCO Container
Lines Company, Limited, have formed a
single controlled carrier now known as
COSCO SHIPPING Lines Co., Ltd.
Hainan P O Shipping Co., Ltd. is
being removed from the list as it no
longer operates as a common carrier. All
Hainan P O Shipping Co., Ltd. tariffs in
the U.S.-foreign trades were cancelled
effective November 29, 2012.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 147 / Wednesday, August 2, 2017 / Notices
American President Lines, Ltd. and
APL Co., Pte. are being removed from
this list because they are now 100%
owned by CMA CGM S.A., a privately
owned company. See Petition of APL
Co. Pte. Ltd. for an Exemption from
Commission Regulations, 34 S.R.R.211
(FMC 2016).
United Arab Shipping Company Ltd.
(formerly United Arab Shipping
Company (S.A.G.)) is being removed
from this list because it is now 100%
owned by Hapag-Lloyd pursuant to the
recently finalized purchase of United
Arab Shipping by Hapag-Lloyd on May
24, 2017. The foreign government
entities that formerly held an ownership
stake in United Arab Shipping acquired
minority stakes in Hapag-Lloyd as part
of the transaction; no State is majority
owner.
It is requested that any other
information regarding possible
omissions or inaccuracies in this list be
provided to the Commission’s Office of
General Counsel. See 46 CFR 501.23.
The amended list of currently classified
controlled carriers and their
corresponding Commission-issued
Registered Persons Index numbers is set

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
Controlled Carriers Under the Shipping Act of 1984
AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Maritime Commission is publishing an updated list
of controlled carriers, i.e., ocean common carriers operating in U.S.-
foreign trades that are owned or controlled by foreign governments.
Such carriers are subject to special regulatory oversight by the
Commission under the Shipping Act of 1984.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tyler J. Wood, General Counsel,
Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street NW., Washington,
DC 20573 (202) 523-5740.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Maritime Commission is
publishing an updated list of controlled carriers. Section 3(8) of the
Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. 40102(8)), defines a ``controlled
carrier'' as:
an ocean common carrier that is, or whose operating assets are,
directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by a government, with
ownership or control by a government being deemed to exist for a
carrier if--
(A) a majority of the interest in the carrier is owned or
controlled in any manner by that government, an agency of that
government, or a public or private person controlled by that
government; or
(B) that government has the right to appoint or disapprove the
appointment of a majority of the directors, the chief operating
officer, or the chief executive officer of the carrier.
As required by the Shipping Act, controlled carriers are subject to
special oversight by the Commission. Section 9(a) of the Shipping Act
(46 U.S.C. 40701(b)), states:
The Federal Maritime Commission, at any time after notice and

The controlled carrier list is not a comprehensive list of foreign-

Since the last publication of this list on July 2, 2015 (80 FR

carriers, due in part to the spate of consolidation activity that has

will not be added to this republished controlled carrier list.
Two previously classified controlled carriers, China Shipping
