- In case you do require original bills of lading, we will be happy to assist with the below options
- Collect the bills of lading from our office when it’s open
- Perform an “electronic release” of bills of lading – where we will keep the original bills of lading with us and allow release of cargo to the consignee / nominated party on your request alone.
Import related
- Surrender of original bills would need to be done at our nearest open office.
- We will waive any charges linked to an electronic release of bills of lading and amendment fee for change of bill type
- Please share details of any payments made with us via e-mail – that is, any proof of payment such as a scanned copy of cheques deposited, electronic funds transfer receipts, etc.
- The release of cargo moving by road will follow the standard release process.
- The release of cargo moving by rail will change to an electronic platform, all documents must be scanned and emailed through to our customer services team for processing, in turn an electronic release order will be sent back for submission to the local authorities for release.
Should you have any concern and/or queries, please feel free to contact your Maersk Local Representative, we will be happy to assist you.
