FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Petition No. P1-10]
Petition of Hainan P O Shipping Co., Ltd. For an Exemption From
the First Sentence of Section 9(C) of the Shipping Act of 1984; Notice
of Filing and Request for Comments
Notice is hereby given that Hainan P O Shipping Co., Ltd.
(``Petitioner''), has petitioned the Commission pursuant to Section 16
of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40103, and 46 CFR 502.69 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, for an exemption from the
first sentence of Section 9(c) of the Shipping Act, 46 U.S.C. 40703.
Petitioner is an ocean common carrier currently providing container
service outside the U.S. trades. In Mid-August 2010, Petitioner will
commence operations in the U.S. transpacific trades, initially serving
the trades between the People's Republic of China, Vietnam, and the
Republic of Korea, and the U.S. Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and
inland points via Los Angeles and Long Beach. Petitioner is a
controlled carrier as defined by the Shipping Act and subject to
Section 9--Controlled Carriers, 46 U.S.C. 40701-40706.
Petitioner seeks an exemption so that it can lawfully reduce its
tariff rates, charges, classifications, rules or regulations effective
upon publication. Petitioner also notes that the requested relief, if
granted, will permit it to operate in the U.S trades on the same terms
available to other ocean common carriers, including many controlled
carriers that previously have been granted similar relief.
