Prohibited NOR commodities

For ethical reasons, Hapag-Lloyd does not transport any species that are seriously endangered and on the so-called “red list of
threatened species”. For example, whales, dolphins, sharks, etc.
Because of the specific construction of reefer containers, some cargo types need to be reviewed for their suitability:

• Heavy packages with rough/sharp edges and machinery parts that cannot be lashed and secured properly or that could damage the floor. For example, with more than 3 metric tons weight per running meter
• Soiled and/or odorous cargo such as hides or menthol
• Cement and other similar powders in bags
• IMO cargo, unless approved by the DG department
• Bulk cargo such as grain, scrap metal, etc.
• Potentially corrosive substances (non-DG)
