The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) contests to both shipowning groups to have completed violations of administrative type and not to have last August introduced to the FAS the documentation demanded within a procedure of investigation notified for the presumed constitution of a trust in the segment of the line services. The investigation, as well as A.P. Møller-Mærsk and CMA CGM, involve also the Helvetic company Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the South Korean Hyumdai Merchant Marine (HMM), the Orient Overseas Container Linens (OOCL) of Hong Kong and the taiwanese Evergreen Marine Corporation.
In charge of the department against the trusts of the FAS, Andrey Tenishev, it has emphasized that this lack of collaboration, not making available the documentation that is necessary in order to carry out a complete and objective investigation on the antitrust cases, determines a slow down of the investigative procedures.
