Customer Advisory:  New OOCL Chassis Policy (Virginia)

Effective January 1, 2013, OOCL will no longer provide chassis for import and export shipments to/from Norfolk and Front Royal, VA.

All motor carriers, either working as suppliers for OOCL or OOCL customers, must provide chassis for these shipments.  Chassis usage fees for Merchant (CY) moves should be billed by the motor carrier directly to their customer. 

If motor carriers plan on renting or leasing chassis at these locations, OOCL’s recommended chassis provider for this area is The Hampton roads Chassis Pool/HRCP II as all intermodal containers arriving by rail will be mounted on to HRCP chassis and HRCP chassis will be supplied to those arriving by vessel.   Any containers delivered to or picked up from the port or rail ramps on non HRCP chassis will require a flip at the motor carrier’s expense.  Motor carriers are encouraged to execute interchange agreements with the HRCP as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition.

If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact your local OOCL Sales or Customer Service representative in the USA or Canada at 1-888-388-6625.
