Pre-cooling of Cargo

It is of utmost importance that the cargo is pre-cooled to the prescribed carrying temperature prior stuffing in order to avoid damage to the cargo during transportation.

Ideally, the carrier accepts those commodities which have been pre-cooled to the correct transport temperature.

Commodities that are not adequately pre-cooled prior to loading into the reefer container place an undue stress to the container's refrigeration system. This may affect the refrigeration system's performance.

Pre-cooling of Container

Pre-cooling of reefer containers must be avoided.
The reason for not pre-cooling the container is that a lot of condensed water will be produced as soon as the doors are opened, if the ambient temperature is high.
Pre-cooling of a container should only take place in those cases where the cargo is transferred into the reefer container in a cold store.

Hotstuffing

Cargo which has not been cooled to its carriage temperature prior stuffing is deemed to be hot cargo- and if the same is consequently stuffed in the container, the container is deemed to be hotstuffed.

The reefer container is designed to maintain the set temperature for carriage and not to bring down the temperature of the commodity.

Hotstuffed cargo will give rise to the following:

Poor circulation of air inside the container leading to some of the cargo not being cooled adequately.
Frequent defrosting cycle due ice formation on the evaporator during which time the cooling apparatus shuts down.
Cargo damage due condensate re-freezing on the cargo/packing leading to claims at the destination port.

Maersk strongly advise against hotstuffing of cargo in our reefer containers but if the shipper insists and is willing to take full responsibility for cargo damage and possible claims, then the Bill of Lading will be claused as such.

Others

LOI - Request of Changing Temperature

need to be provided when request changing temperature once container already gate in.
be noted that this request will be charged USD 50.

Customers who has never ship charcoal wth Maersk can reach out to Carsurin directly at charcoal@carsurin.com to get the manufacturer audited.

Item	Information
Item Maersk Equipment Advantages 45' Containers	Information Most shipping lines do not offer 45' containers. 45' are still, after decades, considered special equipment with limited availability and many ships are not configured to handle such large equipment. Not so with Maersk. We proudly offer this equipment to give you a competitive advantage on cost and ease of handling. Benefits of 45' containers are: Regular 40' container loads approx. 55 m3, Maersk's 45' container loads approx. 75 m3 Advantage: 20cbm / 36% more space per container 3x45' container's loading capacity is 225 m3, whereas 4x40' total capacity is no more than 220 m3 Advantage: You get the same capacity plus an additional 5 cbm using 3x45' instead of 4x40' containers Maersk offers a low 45' rate that is competitive to the 40' rate offered by discount operators. Advantage: For Europe base ports excl. surcharges, Maersk's 45' rate translates to USD 46.66 /m3 based on rate of USD 2,800/40' compared to discount operators charging USD 47.27/m3 (USD 2,600 /40') Shipping large orders in 45' containers instead of 40' containers translates into fewer units which means less handling/trucking expenses. Advantage: You save money not only on freight, but also on trucking, terminal handling and customs. Again using above example and assuming you ship to Rotterdam, you would pay 4 x USD 230 vs. 3 x USD 295 in Jakarta and 4 x USD 160 vs. 3 x USD 160 in Rotterdam for total saving on THC of USD 280. On top of this, you save 1 truck both in Jakarta and Rotterdam. Advantages sum up; consider that you get Maersk's award winning second-to-none service, the assurance of maximum cargo-control through Maersk's world-wide network of on-line offices and you save money on freight, trucking, customs and handling at the same time. In addition, you have access to an industry leading suite of Electronic commerce applications free of charge. Let Maersk's advantages be your advantages and help you lead the way in your industry. Note: 45' containers are especially suited for large shipments of light weight cargo. For Europe, max. weight of cargo incl. all packaging may not exceed 240 kg/cbm (total cargo weight not exceeding 18,000 kg). Examples of commodities that work excellently in 45' containers are furniture, garments, footwear, toys, electronics, arts & crafts. Please call us for further inquiries about 45' pricing and availability and be on your way to a smoother transport experience with significant cost savings making your company more competitive!
Item Equipment Interchange Receipt (EIR)	Information Definition It is a card issued by JICT to exporter/shipper after the exporter/shipper pays all costs and hands over required documents to JICT. The card contains the following information crucial to the loading process: Container number Vessel/voyage Stacking position (yard plan and yard position) of the container at CY location Stowage position (bay/row/tier) of the container on the feeder Features: It is imperative that the yellow card is obtained by the shipper and returned back completed in its entirety to the relevant port department to ensure that the container will be on the terminal's loading plan.
Item Seals	Information Container seals are essential in guaranteeing the safety of the cargo inside the container. To aid our customers in attaching the designated seal to a particular container, Maersk have instructed our depots to provide to the freight forwarder a plastic bag containing the seal with the corresponding container number written on the plastic. By ensuring that the seal is correctly attached to the designated container, the shipper has to a large extent secured the safety of his cargo until arrival to its final destination. Any container with broken or damaged or missing seals is automatically considered suspect by Maersk and the same is canceled from loading until such time that a survey including officials from the terminal, customs, shipper's representative, Shipping line representative are present, a tally taken of the cargo and then the box is re-sealed if all in order.
