Inbound Booking placement

AET:

• Pls fill in booking form ( Bkg form AET )
• Pls send booking form to [email protected]
• For dangerous goods MSDS and DGD must be provided (cargo will be accepted only after receipt of all necessary confirmations)
• You will get contacts of OOCL at Port of Loading (POL) and recommended ocean vessels for your booking. This information must be forwarded to your booking party (shipper\forwarder) at POL to avoid incorrect booking placing*.

Important! According to booking arrangement rules for shipments ex Asian ports, booking must be arranged by shipper or\and his forwarder via Port of Loading.

• Shipper or local forwarder have to place booking by themselves. Booking can be arranged by different ways:

• Via My OOCL Centre on-line, registration required
• Via e-mail (manually) – shipper might be charged with extra fee for manual booking submission, subject to check with OOCL POL
• Via EDI system (between Shipper or his forwarder and OOCL)

• While arranging booking shipper or\and his forwarder must indicate your company agreement number with OOCL (AB,SQ,FW)
• If you require particular terminal at destination, shipper and\or his forwarder must indicate one of the below terminal or exact Port of Discharge (POD) while booking arrangement.
• If Shipper and\or his forwarder will show wrong discharge terminal, POD, then extra fee might be applied, subject to check with POL\POD customer service)
• For example, Saint-Petersburg terminals codes:

• SSB01 - First Container Terminal
• SSB02 - Fish Port
• SSB03 - JSC Container Terminal Saint Petersburg
• SSB04 - Petrolesport
• ULU01 - Ust – Luga

• According to OOCL booking acceptance policy\rule, booking is accepted by POL only after shipper\forwarder completed all arrangement procedures and formalities and booking is approved in system.

! Important information !

Booking must be arranged by shipper or\and his forwarder not later, than 11-12 days before vessel ETD from POL.

This is in due to that approximately 10 days before vessel ETD (accurate date is the “space cut off date") acceptance of new bookings and space release for the vessel are being stopped.

After space cut off date it is quite difficult to get space confirmation for booking.

* incorrect booking placing

We have multiple ocean services from Asian Ports to Europe, but not all of them can be used for shipments to Russia.

If you want to receive every week our schedule with ocean services which can be used (include space cut off dates) – please contact with [email protected]
