In the absence of Maersk Logistics in Lebanon, we can't accept any booking from/to Tripoli port (LBTRI) either on CY or SD basis as we don't offer inland haulage in Lebanon. In case needed, please update the shipment from/to Beirut port and liaise with your supplier/consignee in order to arrange the inland haulage on his own expenses.
Below are the most common local charges we have in Lebanon; they are all subject to change and valid until further notice.
