For standard booking requests you may use the Rate and Booking links under » Maersk or contact us directly.

Preferred loading port is Bremerhaven.

If you would like us to arrange carrier's haulage of special equipment (e.g. reefers, open top containers) we need information about the required loading date one week prior to the actual stuffing in order to arrange availability of empty equipment.

As per B/L conditions it is responsibility of every shipper to check condition of the container before stuffing (B/L Clause 11.4). When container is fully loaded, shipper agrees and accepts that the container is in a good condition – which means no damage from inside, is clean etc. (B/L Clause 15.4).

Clause 11.4

The Shipper shall inspect Containers before packing them and the use of Containers shall be prima facie evidence of their being sound and suitable for use.

If you need specific information regarding export procedures, please contact our Customer service department cz.export@maersk.com.
