<strong>The</strong>re has been continuous progress in the<br />

employed;<br />

Product Update<br />
<strong>The</strong> USA is a much-regulated environment<br />
and as such we must apply for and receive<br />
the required licenses to operate as a freight<br />
forwarder (air, ocean, and brokerage). Here is an<br />
update on where we stand:<br />
Ocean Freight – <strong>The</strong> FMC initially approved<br />
our license application on April 6. <strong>The</strong> license<br />
has now finally been issued and is in our<br />
possession, along with our Freight Forwarder<br />
and Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier<br />
Bonds (FMC requirement) and we are in the<br />
process of finalizing our tariff filing requirements<br />
so that we are in compliance with the Federal<br />
Maritime Commission requirements.
