Export Detention
For export detention, if the earliest receipt date publicly communicated by the terminal changes for a shipment while the container is in the customer’s possession for stuffing and within its free time period, we will extend the detention free time by the number of working days between the previous earliest receipt date and new earliest receipt date for the shipment.

- For cargo after return, through our website Maersk in the MyFinance section.
- In the event you wish to change the party invoiced, please e-mail disputes@maersk.com for assistance.
- When registering a dispute, please include the shipment number, container number, and a detailed description of the dispute including the applicable service contract number if pertinent to the claim.

Maersk offers the flexibility to meet your seasonal needs with service built to match your requirements.
We’re offering seasonal service from Alaska to the Far East to deliver your seafood fresh and on time. With expert support and innovative reefer technology, your refrigerated cargo is safe in our hands. Discover more about these export opportunities, including sailing schedules, in our online flyer.
Most of our restrictions relate to b/l clausing, which follow:
- Agreement on demurrage/detention charges and free days cannot be added to b/l bound for India.
- Value of the goods cannot be added to Bs/l, unless an ad-valorem b/l is required.
- Maersk is not a conference line out of Canada, therefore b/l clauses/certificates requiring otherwise statement cannot be issued.
Private individual strictly not allowed. A private person (shipping for example personal goods) needs to be represented by a registered company and cannot appear on the Transport Document alone.
If any other certificate or further information is necessary, please contact our Customer Resource Centre department.
Background
Please see below details for Verified Gross Mass (VGM) submission in Canada. Transport Canada, the enforcement agency from the Canadian government, has issued their implementation guidelines which can be found by clicking here.
For information on requirements regarding the calibration and the certification of weighing equipment for the purpose of trade the shipper may contact any of the authorized service providers (ASP) recognized by Measurement Canada and listed on the following web site.
VGM cutoffs in Canada
As a general guidance, the VGM should be received by Maersk two (2) hours prior to cargo cut-off if sent via EDI or e-channels, and twelve (12) hours prior to cargo cut-off for manual submission. While your VGM cut-off will be noted on your booking confirmation, we can confirm the following cutoffs for our services in Canada:
