In exceptional cases and after confirmation by the carrier, empty containers may be supplied at an alternate location against payment of a pick-up fee as per tariff below.
The trigger for the validity period is the first load date at origin (Price Calculation Date).
Valid from 01. October 2024 until 31. December 2024 (subject to equipment availability)
