FMC

Why is LOA (Letter of Authorization) registration is required?

Cargo Owner can proceed to book on FMC regulated lanes without LOA registration. 

However, ONE needs to have an evidence that the Cargo Owner authorized an Agent to act on their behalf. This is the reason why the authorized signatory of LOA is only the Cargo Owner. 

Do I need to submit LOA everytime I want to place booking in ONE QUOTE?

The LOA (Letter of Authorization) will be automatically renewed every year until ONE received the notification to stop the auto renewal. However any adjustments / changes to the approved LOA will require submission of new LOA and previously approved LOA will be expired.

This is required for bookings made by an Agent on behalf of the Cargo Owner ONLY.

What is the pre-requisite of LOA submission for each customer Type?

BCO Customer Type: is able to submit LOA without any pre-requisite as long as the Hard Copy LOA is uploaded with same information as the digitial LOA.
Non-BCO Customer Type: is required to have FMC Org # provided by Federal Maritime Commission prior to LOA submission. For more details, you can also refer to our Tutorial Video for guidance.

This is required for bookings made by an Agent on behalf of the Cargo Owner ONLY.

How long should I wait for the LOA to be approved?

Validation and processing of LOA will take about 2-3 days. You will received a notification once approved or rejected due to incomplete, invalid or missing information from the submitted request. For more details, you can also refer to our Tutorial Video for guidance.

Am I able to submit multiple LOA?

Only 1 LOA is accepted within the specific validity period. 

Why am I not able to proceed with quotation search in ONE QUOTE for FMC Regulated Lanes?

For bookings made by an Agent, the system has a logic to validate if an LOA was submitted and in approved status before allowing Customers to search for Quotation under FMC Regulated Lanes.  If Customer has not submitted this pre-requisite, please refer to eCommerce platform and review the FMC Requirement Guideline.

For Non BCO who is searching for quotation as Cargo Owner, a valid FMC Org # is required to be updated in your eCOM profile before you can proceed to book a FMC Regulated route.

Can we use the Service Contract contract condition for other bookings?

No. The ONE QUOTE contract is only applicable to the specific booking placed by the shipper according to the condition specified in the booking including but not limited to Vessels, Routes, Inland Routes, Equipment Type, Commodity, Weight.
