Import order handling

Import cargo is released on presentation of original bills of lading, duly signed container guarantee forms and payment of local charges.

To process release of import cargo: Invoices for our local charges are issued to the consignee. Invoices are available same date as vessel arrival at Dakar port.

Payment for the invoice can be made by banker’s cheque or by cash in Maersk Senegal agency. The bank deposit must be made in the name of the company making the deposit.
