Sea Export

What decides a sea export

A quotation clarifies inclusions, exclusions, cost basis and expected milestones before shipment confirmation.

Equipment and space
A booking needs a container type, a vessel and space, and each is the shipping line's to confirm. Ask what is confirmed and what is requested.
Shipping instructions
The names, the description of goods and the package counts that go on the bill of lading come from the shipping instructions. Errors here are corrected at a cost and a delay.
Verified gross mass
The container's verified gross mass has to be declared before loading. Who determines it, and who submits it, has to be agreed in advance.
Cut-offs and document review
The terminal has cut-offs for cargo and for documents. A document review before the cut-off is cheaper than a correction after it.

Have ready for a quotation

  • Port of loading, port of discharge and the Incoterm
  • Container type and quantity, or cbm and kg for LCL
  • Shipper, consignee and notify party exactly as they should appear
  • Whether the quotation includes pickup, export customs coordination and terminal delivery

What we do not assume

We do not assume a fixed free time, a carrier's acceptance or equipment availability. These are confirmed with the booking.
