The confidential settlement comes after M.E. Dey accused Hapag-Lloyd in 2022 of violating U.S. shipping regulations when it failed to make containers available for pickup, causing demurrage charges to exceed more than $136,000 (see 2212280026 and 2301180013).
In approving the settlement, FMC Administrative Law Judge Alex Chintella said the commission may continue to review his May 17 order dismissing Hapag-Lloyd’s third-party claim against rail carrier CSX Transportation, Hapag-Lloyd’s subcontractor in the case.
