Dear Customers,
Further to our previous notices regarding the EU24 rule which will come into effect on 31st December 2010. OOCL will be responsible for the timely electronic submission of the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) at least 24 hours prior to the start of the loading of vessels bound for an EU port.
To comply with this regulation, it is absolutely crucial that customers are required to provide complete and accurate shipping instructions (SI) before the SI closing time. To ensure the smooth transition before the official launched, we would like to have a trial run commencing from the below vessels from North China :
