Please be advised that Neptune's shipping rates with Maersk are due to change as of the 15.03.15.
As of this date we will be charged freight based on the original scheduled sailing date of the vessel (once a booking has been placed) rather than the Gated In date (when the container is returned, fully loaded, to the quay).
As such we will require accurate information from you to confirm the vessel each container is booked on and would also require you to forward the booking confirmation that you receive from the local Maersk office once you have booked the shipment with them.
This will allow us to confirm the vessel and rates in advance and also give us an opportunity to challenge any differing costs that we may receive after the vessel has sailed.
Please note that you will need to keep us advised of any changes to schedules/vessel and if Maersk roll a vessel we will need the written confirmation from the local office.
If a container is unable to meet an intended vessel due to goods readiness/arrival of container to quay and must be rebooked then we will require the revised booking confirmation from Maersk, again in written confirmation.
Please can you confirm by return that you understand what is required and as of today you will forward an official booking confirmation for all shipments arranged with Maersk as standard practice?
