New container protection for all ocean imports into Benin

At Maersk your needs always come first. That’s why we are continuously trying to simplify the way you do business with us. Container damages can happen at any stage of your supply chain, so we have decided to replace “Surcharge service import” with a new product to ensure you will not be liable for any cleaning of our equipment (within the coverage limit) and will be protected against financial losses.

As of 15th June 2023 the new product, called Container Protect Essential, will come into effect, and is offered to all shipments imported into BENIN as part of the import standard offering for all commodities.
