In exceptional cases and after confirmation by the carrier, empty containers may be supplied at an alternate location against payment of a pick-up fee as per tariff below.
The trigger for the validity period is the first load date at origin (Price Calculation Date).
Valid from 01. January 2021 until 31. March 2021 (subject to equipment availability)
