Samsung seeks $186M from CMA CGM in container charges dispute

Samsung Electronics America is seeking at least $186 million from CMA CGM in a Federal Maritime Commission complaint alleging the ocean carrier imposed unlawful container charges and failed to fulfill inland transportation commitments. The French carrier disputes the allegations and has asked the commission to dismiss the case. The dispute centers on “store-door” shipments, under which CMA CGM agreed to transport Samsung’s containers from overseas origins through U. S. ports to designated inland destinations.
