[Docket No. 15-02]


Combustion Store Limited v. UniGroup Worldwide--UTS; Notice of 
Filing of Complaint and Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal 
Maritime Commission (Commission) by Combustion Store Limited, 
hereinafter ``Complainant,'' against UniGroup Worldwide-UTS, 
hereinafter ``Respondent.'' Complainant states it is a ``firm engaged 
in the business of supplying airplane parts'' with a principal place of 
business in England. Complainant alleges that Respondent is an ocean 
transportation intermediary (OTI) with its primary place of business in 
North Carolina.
    Complainant alleges that Respondent has violated the Shipping Act, 
46 U.S.C. 41102(c), which provides that an OTI ``may not fail to 
establish, observe and enforce just and reasonable regulations and 
practices relating to or connected with receiving, handling, storing, 
or delivering property,'' in connection with a shipment of two used 
aircraft engines. Complainant alleges that Respondent ``failed to 
exercise due diligence in supervising the activities of its 
subcontracted service providers'' to ensure shipment of the log books 
associated with the engines. Complainant alleges that ``the engines are 
for all intents and purposes worthless without the log books.''
    Complainant seeks reparations in the amount of $397,517, plus 
interest and attorneys fees ``or such other sum as the Commission may 
determine to be proper as an award of reparations.''
    The full text of the complaint can be found in the Commission's 
Electronic Reading Room at www.fmc.gov/15-02/.
    This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of Administrative 
Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding officer in this 
proceeding shall be issued by May 4, 2016, and the final decision of 
the Commission shall be issued by November 4, 2016.

Assistant Secretary.
