Documentation Release
Bills of Lading and Electronic Delivery Orders are released automatically once the invoiced funds have been cleared by our bank. Funds may take up to 24 hours to clear for AUD payments and up to 48 hours for other currencies.
Customers will need to take into account the payment processing period when requesting documents as they will not become available until the funds have been cleared.
For instant documentation release we recommend you use Maersk’s secure SmartPay system.
Multiple Invoices
To ensure your payment is processed efficiently we ask you quote the 10-digit invoice number as your payment reference. If you are paying multiple invoices in the one transaction you will need to send a payment breakdown along with your bank remittance to au.rem@maersk.com.
Invoice Status
To check the clearance status of your invoice go to MyFinance > Search. Invoices will be displayed as Open or Paid.

For import detention and demurrage invoices, Maersk will convert the currency based on the last available rate of exchange on the invoice creation date.
