Due to the increase in certificate requests, we would like to share with you a brief description of general clauses acceptance and feasibility* In case you do not find below the case that potentially reflects your situation, or you still have some concerns, please contact your usual Custom Service contact.

Here is a brief list of clauses which are usually acceptable:

• Cold treatment execution, if this treatment has been requested form Customer and execution has been confirmed from Maersk
• Vessel flag details or statement declaring vessel has or does not have a specific flag
• Statement declaring vessel will call or will not call specific ports, unless in distress or subject to force majeure or upon request of competent authorities
• Free time applied. This is usually acceptable if related to the booking. Certain destinations do not authorize to insert the free time on Bill of lading or certificates. In any case, if the free time is valid as per service contract/destination/booking, it will be granted.
• Reefer container type with indication of set temperature
• Port of loading or discharge name if that exact name is reflected on our list of port aliases

Here is a brief list of clause types which are generally not acceptable:

• Not specific or measurable
• In conflict with pre-printed terms and conditions of the bill of lading
• Apply burdens on Maersk which cannot be measured, prevented or fulfilled.

For example:

• Clean on Board
• Handling clauses like handle with care, glass with care
• Use no Hooks
• Stating the origin of goods (made, manufactured, growth in…)
• Stating the quality of packing (i.e. packed on strong, dry, seaworthy cases or boxes)
• Stating a specific container position on ship (i.e. stored under deck, away from boiler and engine)
• Stating a specific transshipment port or absence of transshipment port

* Please note this list is general and indicative. It is subject to change and it cannot constitute a confirmation of certificate or bill of lading feasibility related to a specific booking or booking request. The acceptance of a clause can be influenced by specific booking parameters.
