HAULAGE ISSUES

Due to a shortage container drivers and port congestion in the UK, there is a huge delay with picking up containers from the port which is leading to demurrage / rent being incurred on most containers. Please make your customer aware that there may be additional storage charges due to this.

 

PORT CHARGES INCREASES

All ports now charge for infrastructure, examination, survey fees and ISPS charge. Due to this we have had to up our rates to incorporate these charges as we believe in a door to door, all included offer. The rates are now fixed, but ever rising and we expect another increase in January.

If you would like to make these port fees chargeable to the customer, we can reduce the rate by £50.00 and bill them on receipt.

SHUTTLE SERVICES

Most carriers are now refusing to deliver containers to a personal residence. A shuttle service is therefore highly likely for FCLs. We will try to avoid this where possible but cannot confirm until we know the carrier details and the exact delivery address. We are happy to check for you once we have these details.
