Who is MAERSK ?
Description of MAERSK
A.P. Moller-Maersk, commonly known as Maersk, is a global leader in container shipping and logistics. Founded in 1904 and headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, the company operates a vast network of shipping routes and ports around the world. Maersk is renowned for its extensive fleet of container ships.
Rules and Reglations that MAERSK should follow
MAERSK corporate social responsibility
Maersk's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a crucial aspect of their global operations. However, their actions in Cameroon, particularly in Douala, raise questions about their commitment to social responsibility.
Maersk's CSR initiatives focus on:
- Sustainability
- Ethical conduct
- Human rights
- Community engagement
However, in Cameroon, Maersk's agents have been accused of:
- Violating human rights
- Engaging in unethical conduct
- Disregarding community concerns
- Prioritizing profits over sustainability
This paradox between Maersk's global CSR commitments and their local actions in Cameroon highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency
Blattant violation of Maritime regulation by MAERSK
How can the consignee changed when the goodsare no longer in th sea but at the seaport of Douala ?
Maritime conventions are crucial in regulating the shipping industry and protecting the rights of individuals involved. However, the paradox between Maersk's global commitments to social responsibility and their local actions in Cameroon raises questions about their true commitment to these conventions.
Maersk's actions in Cameroon, such as violating human rights and engaging in unethical conduct, are in stark contrast to their global CSR initiatives. This discrepancy highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the shipping industry.
The maritime conventions that Maersk has signed onto, such as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), are meant to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals and the environment.
However, Maersk's actions in Cameroon demonstrate a lack of adherence to these conventions. It is essential that Maersk takes responsibility for their actions and works towards a more transparent and accountable approach to their operations in Cameroon.
Furthermore, the Cameroonian government must also take steps to ensure that Maersk and other shipping companies operating in their country are held accountable for their actions. This includes enforcing maritime conventions and protecting the rights of individuals affected by their operations.
Ultimately, the shipping industry must prioritize transparency, accountability, and social responsibility to ensure that the rights of individuals and the environment are protected.
According to maritime convention, it is forbidden to change the consignee once the goods have arrived at the dock. Yet, Maersk decided to change the recipient of the goods in favor of Mr. Toche, after Von Bangoulap Sarl had already paid the customs duties and completed the customs formalities. This appears to be a violation of the maritime convention and customs rules. It is important to contest this decision and ask Maersk for explanations on the reasons that led them to make this decision. It is also important to verify if Mr. Toche has any links with Maersk or if he has personal interests in this matter. It is possible that Maersk acted against the interests of Von Bangoulap Sarl and the victims of the container delivery upprooted tortously by MAERSK Cameroon fraud system.

Lettre de Jane Marry à MAERSK
Je m'appelle Jane-Mary Tchatat et je suis l'épouse de Jean Patrice Tchatat, fondateur et PDG de la société Vonbangoulap LLC. Nous avons utilisé Maersk pour expédier des marchandises et des effets personnels au Cameroun. Malheureusement, nous avons rencontré des problèmes graves avec ces expéditions. Après que les conteneurs aient été dédouanés, nous avons constaté que le nom sur les conteneurs avait été modifié et que, avant que nous puissions agir, les conteneurs ont disparu du port de Douala. Cette situation a eu des conséquences catastrophiques pour nous.
Des personnes ayant partiellement payé pour la marchandise contenue dans ces conteneurs n'ont pas non plus reçu leur bien, ce qui a entraîné des difficultés financières majeures pour nous. Nous avons perdu notre maison, nos voitures et d'autres biens. Malgré plusieurs tentatives de notre part pour résoudre ce problème avec Maersk, la société n'a jamais reconnu le problème ni répondu à nos demandes.
Maersk n'a pas activé le système de suivi GPS pour localiser les conteneurs disparus. Nous avons l'impression que l'entreprise adopte un comportement de gestion obsolète et arrogante, ignorant les conséquences pour ses victimes. Il semble que Maersk préfère laisser les victimes se débattre en justice, ce qui peut mener à la faillite ou à des situations désespérées. Nous nous demandons pourquoi Maersk ne fait pas preuve de bonne foi ou de responsabilité sociale, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit de gérer des crises comme celle-ci.
Nous n'avons même pas reçu une simple lettre d'excuses de la part du personnel juridique de Maersk, qui semble incompétent et corrompu. Il est inacceptable que Maersk laisse ses victimes dans une telle détresse sans fournir de solutions concrètes. Nous avons également appris que l'affaire, qui avait été jugée en 2022, est maintenant pendante en cour d'appel, laissant l'issue incertaine.
Cette situation est intenable et nous pousse à envisager des actions juridiques plus sévères. Nous demandons que Maersk soit jugé pour abus de confiance, fraude, détention illégale de biens, et insolvabilité organisée. Il est impératif que des mesures urgentes soient prises pour résoudre ce problème. Nous attendons de Maersk qu'il prenne ses responsabilités et propose une compensation adéquate à Jean Patrice Tchatat, à notre famille, et aux autres victimes.
Nous avons également l'intention d'impliquer les autorités locales, telles que le Parlement, le Sénat, le Ministre des Transports, le Premier Ministre, et le Chef de l'Etat Paul Biya, pour qu'ils se penchent sur cette affaire. Il est crucial que Maersk soit tenu responsable pour les torts causés. Nous espérons que cette démarche attirera l'attention nécessaire pour résoudre cette crise.
En attendant, nous continuons à faire appel à des médias, des avocats spécialisés, et des personnalités influentes pour nous aider à obtenir justice. Nous avons besoin que Maersk agisse rapidement et de manière transparente pour régler cette situation de manière satisfaisante. Si aucune solution n'est trouvée dans un délai raisonnable, nous envisagerons d'autres recours pour obtenir réparation.
Letter from Jane Marry to MAERSK
My name is Jane-Mary Tchatat, wife to Jean Patrice Tchatat, founder and CEO of the compagnie Vonbangoulap LLC, who has been using your company, Maesrk, to ship merchandise and personal belongings to Cameroon. Regarding the containers which arrived in his name, and after the visit and custom duties were paid, the name on the containers were changed to someone else's name, and before we could do anything, the containers disappeared from the Douala Port.
Mind you, we had a few people who had partially paid merchandise in the container. These people didn't get their merchandise as well. Now with all the money put in these containers and no returns being made, life started becoming hard, we could not meet up with certain bills, we lost our home, cars, things put in the storage, etc. l have family members and some employees of Vonbangoulap looking into the situation. They visited Maersk on several occasions but Maesrk has never ever made an attempt to even acknowledge the fact they we are reaching out to them, or even given a response to any of our inquiries. Even after the custom clearance the specifics Marked on two Containers , Maersk has never been able miraxousloisly been able to activate the tracking system to locate trough the Gps the position of the lost contenairs ,it is obvious that the minimum to do was to show a little sense of goo faith and also why not a little sense of corporate social responsability ? Why keep an obselate management behavior of arrogant dominant company in the Transport Industry that have zero imagination in the mindset of the top management since the only ball game that is the Dna of Maesk is to let who ever is the victim to spent his time and money to drive Maersk to court ,once its done Maersk is now free from gettting ride of its victims with over a quater of century in court using and abusing from its dominant position to bring the victim to fail bankruptcy or to die so that it could be easier for Maersk tones of a lawyers to eliminate any and all the plaintif unless if they couls succeed to carry the new out trought the media the social media networks the blogs or if the trial to justice the individual rulers of the Maersk representation to get him to response personaly infront of a procureur de la Republic of its responsabilty of abus de confiance fraud detention of property belonging to someone else and organiser of insolvency Should it be the only remedes i will not lost 72 h to give mandate to my lawyer in Cameroun to trial you personally in front of the bar to respond for all your wrong centennial and colonial system perpetrated by young baby Doc Duvalier with African color skin and mind but using the old dump old fashion method of the second war to maintain the continent into poverty corruption low in come and I do hope that i will not be forced to go to that extend but if i did not hear from you ,i be left no choice to act any how to get my a solution to my cry Could you explain me why event a simple letter of excuse we have never received any from a poor incompentent staff that you appointed in your legal department who are only used to bribe the lawyer of the victims and spent 30 years in court for the same case I really need the Parliement The Senate, the Minister of Transport, the Prime Minister, The Head of State SE Paul Biya, mr Ngo, to look into it Mr Domtchua you can not continue to seat there with your legal assistant mr Badagana Christian to unlaufuly hold our belongs and let your assistant Sandrine moudissa of Maersk legal department sayin g that Maesrk is not guilty of the consequence we are suffring from the huge lost of the contains of the containers If she have even a some humilty to say 3 weeks ago we are going to look into we could at least understood there is a least a beguining of a sense of care No Sandrine i would like to be also trial in court personaly for Criminal culture have kept saying that at the matter judged in 2022 with a firm condemnation of Maesk is suddently pending in 2024 in court of appeal after more than 2 years of notification of the expedition of justice condemning Maersk either to deliver the document of delivery to give back the containers Is it the way of Maersk to resume a case of a victim of wrong doing of Maersk who ends up in jail in New bell house of Arrest who could host any one without limitation im telling you ?

Why not giving a chance to listen to what the client is suffering from and orgnize a roundtable to go trough the containers bill of loading to evaluate the value of the lost and find a a much more intelligent way to compenste and repair the default of delivery of voucher of were expecting to a Giant like Maersk repair without no delay the serious and severe damage created by the lost of of 2 containers full goods and commodities that have almost completed the clearance at the custom , I wish my husband could have been aware of Maerk us and customs not to pay the victim i could suggest him to file Chapter 11,for having the Bankrupcy Protection over my our assets bank account As we missed to act so i can not be blame but i am expecting Marsk to find a urgent solution to this matter
Currently my husband is in Cameroon to follow up to be paid what the courts had requested Maersk to pay him since 2022. But he gets arrested by the people whose merchandise have not been deliver yet, consequence to the account frozen, and thrown in jail. He has been in Cameroon since May 4th 2024. He was supposed to return after two and a half weeks, but he is still held up. My kids are very distressed because they cannot understand why their father is not back yet. What do I tell my children? How do I start telling them their father is locked up? As I speak, we are currently homeless. My husband is in Cameroon, we don't know his date in the jail he is in. I don't know if he will come out alive, because he is not used to that way of living. School is about to start, I don't know how I will be able to prepare my boys for school. This is really weighing down on me and I ask that you look into this matter justly and grant what is due my husband, so he can pay off these people he owes and return to his family. We need him. Thanks for your time. Hope to hear from you as soon as possible regarding this issue

Letter from Jane Mary Tchatat to Ms Ashley @ the US Consular
Hello Ms Ashley, this is Jane-Mary, Jean Patrice's wife. I got your number from my husband. He said you were in Douala and are aware of everything going on. I have also been in contact with Brad at the Embassy in Yaounde for the past 2 months, since all this madness has been going on.
I am going insane because all this until this point is not making any sense to me. How do honest people get entangled with dishonest and corrupt people, and why can no one see what is going on? Our lives have not been the same ever since Maersk stole our 2 containers in 2021-22. We did everything possible to send home 2 more containers and instructed that, the lawyer (Mr Kenfac), who was running the business at the time and legalizing all documents that needed to be legalized, should sell its contents and refund the customers who had their partially paid merchandise in the first 2 stolen containers. What did he do? He brought in 2 other lawyers who worked with him and they stole these containers as well. Then he would not take our calls anymore or communicate with us. At that time we were suing Maersk and in the process Mr Kenfac was arrested. That was when we found out he was not a lawyer, had gone to law school, but never passed the board exam. Cameroon being as corrupt as always, he bribed himself out of jail and at this time, the word is "he is nowhere to be found". Really?
My husband decides to go to Cameroon to to collect the money Maesrk is supposed to repay him as the court had passed judgement, so he can pay the people he owes, and he is instead arrested and thrown in a criminal jail. What offense has he committed here?
With all the pain and suffering we have gone through in the US from the consequences of the stolen containers, lost our home, lost our cars at some point, and even our property in the storage. We had to move out of our 5 bedroom home into a 2 bedroom apartment. Presently before my husband decided he had to go to Cameroon, we were evicted from the apartment. We were leaving at Extended Stay hotel, hoping my husband was going to be gone for 2 weeks as planned, after getting his money from Maesrk and settling his customers he owed, will return, and we can buy another home and continue with our lives. At some point I couldn't continue staying there because the little savings ran out. I am now squatting with a friend and her family. Where is our family dignity in all this?
Our boys especially the younger one, keeps asking when Daddy is returning 😭. What do I tell my boys? It breaks my heart day in day out. This is the Summer break, we try to do some fun things with the boys to relax their minds since they have been doing well in school, but this Summer is different. Can't do anything. I work with CVS pharmacy, but my paycheck cannot do it all especially when as a family, my husband and I have been taking care of things together. Everything is all on me, I have to schedule payments here and there just to try to make ends meet.
What is really mind bugging is the fact that my husband was thrown into a criminal jail for a civil case? What crime has he committed? I still keep asking. My kids go to Catholic school and school is about to start, how do I get them ready for school, how do I pay their school fees? My husband has been locked up for 2 months now, how do they expect him locked up, to follow up with Maersk for the money to pay the people they are arresting him for none payment? Another
