Notice of Dangerous Goods pre-shipment Surveys - Rotterdam

Dear valued ONE customer,

Please be advised that Ocean Network Express (Europe) Ltd. are investing in a 6-month pilot scheme conducting pre-shipment inspections for all Dangerous Goods (DG) consignments exported from the Port of Rotterdam. The new initiative due to start on August 1st, 2023, is implemented to enhance the safety of crew, cargo and vessels when transporting DG containers.

ONE will employ the services of an experienced independent external surveyor to assess, identify and address potential risks associated with DG containers, such as incorrect labelling, vanning, lashing and the misdeclaration of any DG containers booked with ONE and loaded to a ONE-operated vessel.

Any DG Container which fails the inspection will be placed on hold until all necessary corrective actions have been taken.

ONE is investing in this survey for the protection of its crew, cargo, vessels, and all its customers’ interests bearing the cost of each initial survey. Any DG unit which fails the inspection will be subject to the costs of re-lashing and re-securing on the terminal or is to be removed from the terminal for off-dock of re-lashing and re-securing.  

By implementing these enhanced safety measures, we aim to minimize the risks associated with DG containers, ensuring the smooth and secure transportation of your goods.

If you have any questions or require further clarification regarding this initiative, please do not hesitate to contact your dedicated ONE representative.
