Maersk Line to pay $31.9M to settle Pentagon charges
Wednesday, January 4, 2012
WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department said Maersk Line Ltd. has agreed to
pay the government $31.9 million to settle allegations of overcharging the
Pentagon for transporting thousands of shipping containers from ports to
destinations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Maersk -- a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Denmark-based A.P. Moller
Maersk -- is a major ocean carrier at the Port of Charleston.
The company allegedly inflated invoices for refrigerated containers holding
perishable cargo at a port in Pakistan, and at U.S. military bases in
Afghanistan. It also allegedly billed for container delivery delays
improperly attributed to the U.S. government and billed for GPS tracking
and security services that were not provided or only partially provided.
