Samsung Files $186m FMC Claim Against CMA CGM Over Inland Delivery Failures
Samsung Electronics America has initiated formal proceedings before the Federal Maritime Commission, alleging French ocean carrier CMA CGM billed excessive cargo fees while failing to complete prepaid inland transport.
Samsung Electronics America has lodged a major complaint with the US Federal Maritime Commission against French liner CMA CGM, seeking at least $186 million in compensation.
The dispute represents one of the most substantial shipper claims to arise from the supply chain disruptions experienced during the pandemic era. The shipper alleges that the ocean carrier imposed extensive cargo charges during the market crunch.
Central to the filing are claims that the shipping line failed to execute prepaid inland deliveries across the United States, despite collecting fees associated with the intermodal moves.
The complaint was formally served by the US maritime regulator this month as part of ongoing scrutiny over ocean carrier billing practices and service obligations during peak disruption periods.
