Mediterranean Shipping Company

TROY CONTAINER LINES reminds all shippers that, sinds juli 2, 2008 de VS. Volkstellingsbureau & Custom Border Protection vereist verplichte indiening van exportinformatie voorafgaand aan het vertrek van het schip via het Automated Export System (AES) voor alle zendingen.

The regulations call for the export information to be filed in AES according to specific timeframe, and it is now fully implemented with effective date September 30th, 2008.

De verlader of zijn geautoriseerde agent is verplicht om de exporterende vervoerder AES ITN of vrijstellingslegenda te verstrekken voorafgaand aan de export naar de geplande haven waar de lading wordt geladen. Het niet verstrekken aan de vervoerder van de AES ITN of vrijstellingslegenda zou ertoe leiden dat de vervoerder de lading niet op het toegewezen schip kan laden. In het geval dat er lading wordt geladen zonder de verplichte aangifte, een boete van US $ 10.000 per cognossement wordt beoordeeld door U.S. Volkstellingsbureau & Aangepaste grensbescherming.

Mediterranean Shipping Company wants to make sure that our supporters are aware:

A. om informatie in te dienen en te verstrekken in overeenstemming met de U.S. Volkstellingsbureau & Aangepaste grensbescherming;

B. to pass the information to the carrier in due time and in line with the cargo s receiving policy, and the documentation cut-off implemented by the same;

C. that cargo will NOT be loaded and roll due to non compliance, and that same would be subject to roll-over fee; late documentatie vergoeding; overliggeld; opslag; herbehandeling; en alle kosten die door de terminal en de vervoerder worden berekend in overeenstemming met hun gepubliceerde tarief.

Mediterranean Shipping Company will operate under the following guidelines:

A. it would be mandatory to receive master bill of lading with AES ITN or exemption legend by minimum 2 days before vessel’s arrival. The deadline for the receipt of the master & AES would be 12:00 noon, local time of the office of pertinence and receipt. The instructions to where to send the information are posted on the booking confirmation. We kindly request to review these instructions and make sure are properly followed and understood;

B. op deadline, the carrier will instruct the terminal operators to remove from the load list all units for which NO documents were received, and apply all charges related to this operation.

Mediterranean Shipping Company reminds all shippers how important it is to provide the carriers with correct and timely information, and obey by the guidelines as instructed.

Mediterranean Shipping Company also informs their customers that Maher Terminal (New York) has decided, with immediate effect, to implement a re-handling fee of $425/PC during normal working hours, and $550/PC during overtime hours.
