Dear Valued Customer,

At Hapag-Lloyd, we are committed to providing transparent and efficient service. Below are important updates regarding booking procedures, documentation processes, and import operations in Spain.

1.      Booking Procedures

Booking Amendments & Cancellations

• 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
  • Changes to container quantity, routing, mode of transport, and vessel
• Changes managed directly by Customer Service:
  • Assigned container requests
  • Change of Destination (COD) requests after containers arrive at the terminal.

Global Policy on Booking Changes

• Certain booking details cannot be changed, including:
  • Quotation number
  • Named account details
  • Commodity type
• If changes are needed, the booking must be canceled and rebooked.

Dangerous Goods (DG) Process in Spain

• Booking requests for dangerous goods (DG) must include full IMO documentation, submitted to [email protected]
• Incomplete documentation will result in booking cancellation within 48 hours.
• 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
  • Valencia: Valenciaport

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:
  • Barcelona/Tarragona – APMT BCN
  • Valencia/Sagunto – APMT VLC, CSP VLC, Inter-Sagunto
  • Malaga – Noatum Malaga
  • Vigo – TCV
  • Gijon – APMT Gijon
  • Bilbao – Noatum Bilbao
• Customers do not need to submit VGM manually, as the terminal provides the verified weight directly to Hapag-Lloyd.
• There will be no additional cost for this service.

Exceptions:

• OOG (Out of Gauge) cargo: Customers must submit VGM data via the Hapag-Lloyd website or an EDI channel, as terminals do not offer weighing for these cargo types.
• Certain ports and shipments (e.g., Portugal, Algeciras): Customers must continue submitting VGM data manually.
• If the terminal is not listed above, customers must submit the VGM manually via the Hapag-Lloyd Online Business Suite.

3. Import Procedures

Import Reefer Container Assignment (Barcelona & Valencia)

From March 4, 2024, all reefer containers imported through Valencia and Barcelona will be assigned at our discretion to reduce congestion and improve delivery efficiency.
