Bill of Lading release

They are different ways of releasing a negotiable Bill of Lading:

Express Release

Express releases must be requested via email to AR.EXPORT@maersk.com, when payment for prepaid charges is sent. Full set of original Bill of Lading is not printed either at origin or at destination office. Consignee can pick up the container from the port without documents’ presentation.

For customers used to print documentation through www.Maersk.com and are in need of an Express Release, inform us immediately in order to restrict access to print Bill of Lading in question. In this way, duplicate documentation is avoided.

Issuance of Original Bill of Lading at destination

Issuance of Original Bill of Lading at destination must be requested via email to AR.EXPORT@maersk.com after all prepaid charges are paid and Bill of Lading approved. Party to which documentation should be released must be indicated.

This is the most common option for cargo moving within Latin America, since many countries do not accept Express Release.

Issuance of Original Bill of Lading at origin

Issuance of Original Bill of Lading at origin must be requested via email to AR.EXPORT@maersk.com, when payment for prepaid charges is sent. Once payment is processed, documentation availability will be notified to client by counter.

OOG and IMO cargos are subject to standard Maersk approval. Please contact AR.EXPORT@maersk.com for detailed information.
