Service Rotation Change – Panama Direct (RTW)

Effective January 2014

CMA CGM wishes to inform our valuable customers of some important changes in the Panama Direct (RTW) service that will occur at the beginning of January 2014.

Whilst customers support for the weekly product has been encouraging, the current market conditions internationally on the trade lanes in which this service operates are under considerable pressure, which means a weekly service offering in its current form will not be sustainable in the short to medium term.

(2)

As part of our ongoing commitment to our customers and recognizing the need for a sustainable and reliable service offering, CMA CGM will modify its sailing frequency from weekly to fortnightly. As a result of this modification we are now reviewing port rotations and coverage, details of which will be advised shortly.

It is still our intention to be able to offer wide coverage to the key markets of Europe, Caribbean, South America, the US East Coast and Oceania and to provide attractive transit solutions by utilizing the group’s service network and partnership arrangements.

The Panama Direct (RTW) service will continue with a weekly frequency southbound service until December 2013 departing the USA and from Oceania till February 2014, thereafter the service will resume a fortnightly frequency with possible adjustment in the rotation that will be announced as soon as possible.

The first fortnightly vessel departing the USA will be CMA CGM MANET RP429S (etd NYC 12/29/2013, SAV 01/01/2014 and from Oceania RP430N (etd SYD 01/28/2014, TAURANGA 02/04/2014)

Rules and Regulations

 India: IEC code, new Customs requirement

Subscribe

CMA CGM wishes to inform its customers about a new Customs regulation in India, the IEC code (Import Export Code Number).

Name and full style address of Indian Importer are mandatory for submission of manifest to Customs. In absence of Indian importer name, Customs do not allow to file import manifest and container will not be allowed to be discharged in Indian port.

IEC Code of importer has to be declared with Customs hence the Bill of Lading must display the same.

For cargo destined or transshipped at ports in India, all bills of lading are required to have the IEC Code of the Indian consignee mentioned in the Bill of Lading.

According to Custom’s directions, all Shipping Agents, Container Agents and Importers who are involved in filing Import General Manifest (IGM) including filing of supplementary and amendments are advised to provide Import Export Code (IEC) of the importer whose name is figuring in the Bill of Lading along with the importer name in the cargo description.

IEC number should be given as a prefix to the importer name without using any special characters or brackets. For example “0XXXXXXXXXX SEJAL GLASS LTD” should be entered in the importers name column in the IGM_Cargo details. It is also advised to refrain from using prefixes like /s., m/s., M/S etc. while providing importer’s name.

To adhere to the above instructions all Bill of Lading are required to have the Indian Consignee details mentioned either in the Consignee column or as the First notify Party. Further the Indian Consignee details should again be mentioned in the Cargo description with the IEC code as the prefix to the importer name {Example “0XXXXXXXXXX SEJAL GLASS LTD”}.

Where can the IEC Code be obtained?

The IEC code can be verified by checking following link:

http://dgft.delhi.nic.in:8100/dgft/IecPrint.

Non-compliance of the said instructions shall lead to levy of penalty by customs’ authority which shall be on Merchant’s account.

In order to meet the requirements of the new rule, shippers or their partner forwarders will need to review supply chain processes in their sourcing locations and ensure that IEC information is provided to the Carrier timely.

 PLASTIC WASTE shipments to MALAYSIA (booking procedure) Thanks to note immediate revision for bkg procedure of PLASTIC WASTE shipment to Malaysia:

Prior to accept any firm booking from shipper/forwarder, the shipping company first has to receive a green light from the Malaysian import department, therefore always mention consignee’s details on the booking.

Any WASTE PLASTIC shipment to MALAYSIA where such

acknowledgement has not been confirmed, has to BE REFUSED. Shipper has to follow strictly at time of booking the next 3 points: 1 - a “ manufacturing licence’ granted by State government of their relevant state , to prove they have capability to process (rather than simply trade) the plastic waste.

2 - an approval letter from Department of Environment

3 - they have registered their company within the Department of Solid Waste.

In case consignee refuses the cargo , shipper will be billed for all costs involved.
