Notice is given that an amended complaint has been filed with the Federal Maritime Commission (the “Commission”) by Dollar General Logistics, LLC (the “Complainant”) against Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. (the “Respondent”). Complainant states that the Commission has subject-matter jurisdiction over the amended complaint pursuant to the Shipping Act of 1984, as amended, 46 U.S.C. 40101 et seq., and personal jurisdiction over Respondent as an ocean common carrier, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(18), that has entered into a service contract, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(21), with Complainant.

Complainant is a corporation existing under the laws of the state of Tennessee with its principal place of business located in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.
