- All booking amendments should be submitted online via the Hapag-Lloyd Navigator.
- Requests submitted online receive priority and are free of charge.
- Amendments sent via email will incur a EUR 75 fee from August 10, 2022.
- Customers can request:
- Booking cancellations

Dangerous Goods (DG) Process in Spain
- Booking requests for dangerous goods (DG) must include full IMO documentation, submitted to [email protected]

- Terminal approvals take 24-48 hours, and further checks may be required for transshipment or final delivery.
Customs Clearance in Spanish Ports
- No need to submit customs clearance documents for shipments via Barcelona, Valencia, and Sagunto; Hapag-Lloyd retrieves them directly from the Agencia Tributaria.
- Containers without completed clearance will receive reminders, and incorrect customs data may result in penalties.
Vessel Call & Terminal Admission (Barcelona & Valencia)
Before picking up containers, customers must confirm vessel call admission via:
-
- Barcelona: PORTIC Barcelona

If a vessel call is closed, a EUR 150 document change fee (TMO) applies.
Verified Gross Mass (VGM) Process
- All standard export containers at the following Spanish terminals will be automatically weighed upon arrival:

- Valencia/Sagunto – APMT VLC, CSP VLC, Inter-Sagunto
- Malaga – Noatum Malaga
- Vigo – TCV
- Gijon – APMT Gijon
