The Outline of HMM Bill of Lading

1. B/L Number Coding System

a. HMM B/L number consists of 15 letters, for example “HDMUBUHB1234567”.

b. “HDMU” is a registered code of HMM, which is added to all Bill of Lading numbers as a sign of

HMM B/L.

c. Following 4 alphabetical letters are made up of 2 prefix that indicate Place of Receipt and Place of

Delivery. For example, “BU” is the prefix for Busan and “HB” is for Hamburg. HMM B/L system

selects relevant prefix by itself if POR and PVY are fixed correctly.

d. The following 7 number is serial number which is attached consecutively regardless of

vessel/voyage.

Example)

HDMU BU HB 1234567

HMM Prefix POR PVY Serial number

e. B/L prefix ‘WB’/’MM’ are used to indicate waybill / Memo B/L each

2. Total Pages of Original Bill of Lading

a. In general, 3 copies of original Bill of Lading (which is a full set) are issued at HMM offices and

agents.

b. The total number of original B/L issued must be inscribed on the “Number of Original B(s)/L” of B/L

body, with alphabetical number such as “THREE (3)” or “Five (5)”.

c. Some exporters need more than 3 copies due to L/C requirements. In that case, more than 3

Revision 10


copies can be issued and less than 3 copies are also possible. There is no special limit on the

number of copies as long as the total number of original B/L issued is printed on the face of original

B/L.

Revision 10


Customer Info.

Customers’ information consists of two parts; code and description. Both of them should be filled in

with correct data. Especially, this data is essential to contact the customers when sending Arrival

Notice. Incorrect or disarranged input would cause confusion and delay of shipment.

* Example ---------

Shipper : KRHYMC00 HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY

231, YANGJAE-DONG SEOCHO-GU,

SEOUL, KOREA

2-1234-5678

1. Input Customer Code

- Fill in the customer code and press Enter, then the description appears by itself (as you can see in

the above example). For Help option, put the cursor on the code field and press F1 key, then

Help screen shows up. Search and select the customer code you are looking for.

- If you want to create code for the new customer, request to HQ through the system.

2. Correct the Description

- Input or modify the description field; put in the full address of the customer correctly. You can fill in

and correct the description manually.

3. Make Sure of the Notify Address

- The description of Notify column is used at destination office to send Arrival Notice. Arrival Notice

sending system takes data from Notify column’s description, so your input should be accurate. If

it is not correct, then Arrival Notice will not arrive in time, and it will lead to customer’s complaint.

- “SAME AS ABOVE” or “SAME AS CONSIGNEE” must NOT be written on the Notify column even

Revision 10


though the Notify Party is identical with the Consignee. Full address should be filled in. Notify

description will be printed on the mail address as it is seen. If it is put in as “THE SAME AS

ABOVE”, the same phrase will be printed on the Arrival Notice mail envelop.

- It is recommended that the telephone and fax number be added on the last line of Notify description

column. It would prevent possible notifying failures.

- Recommended form of full address is as follows;

1 st Line : Company Name

2 nd Line : Street Name & Number

3 rd Line : City Name, Country/State, Zip code

4 th Line : Telephone Number, Attention

5 th Line :

4. Booking Shipper Code

- Sometimes a shipper books to HMM personally, and sometimes a freight forwarder books on behalf

of the actual shipper. In the former case, booking shipper is the same with the actual shipper. But

in the latter case, booking shipper is just a forwarder, not an actual shipper. See the below chart.

- Usually, booking shipper, who books and pays the ocean freight to HMM, is the shipper for HMM.

So booking shipper’s name is printed on the face of B/L. And booking shipper code, which is a

new field and concurrent with shipper code, has the same code with shipper as a default value.

See the example;

Shipper : KRLSC000 HANWHA CORP

15FL HAN WHA BULD

JANGKYO DONG, JUNG GU

SEOUL, KOREA

Revision 10

Actual Shipper

Booking Shipper HMM


Consignee : KRTOOR00 To THE ORDER OF BANK

Bkg Shipper : KRLSC000 HANWHA CORP

- But, sometimes, booking shipper wants an actual shipper to be printed on the B/L due to L/C

agreement. In that case, you should filled in the shipper & booking shipper field according to

following rule;

5. Customer Code Creation.

- HMM’s customer code consists of 8 characters (Nation 2 letters + Master 4 letters + Sequence 2

numbers) which is paired with formal & full trade name.

Code Description Nation Agent

KRHYCO00 Hyundai Corporation. KR KOR

HKABXL01 ABX Logistics(HK) Limited. HK HKG

USEXEC00 Excel Corporation US KAN

GBDANZ98 Danzas (UK) Limited. GB GBR

Revision 10

Should be


- Only HQ has the authority to create Master code. Therefore, you should contact HQ TRF & DOC

when user needs a new customer code.

- User has to check if the customer already has master code before requesting H.Q.

6. City, Nation, State (For only Canada Customs)

- These information are important factors Canada Customs asks carrier to show in the manifest. So,

please enter F1 key to search right code then input them properly. In case of state, it is related to

only Canada & U.S as other countries have nothing to do with state.

Revision 10


POR, POL, POD and PVY

Four location code is important in the HMM Bill of Lading; Place of Receipt (POR), Port of Loading

(POL), Port of Discharge (POD) and Place of Delivery (PVY). Each information stipulates HMM’s

responsible bound and shows transportation mode. In addition, they are used as the essential basis to

transmit manifest data and fulfill transportation. These four pillars should be set up firmly so that we

should build solid delivery system.

1. Definitions

POR (Place of Receipt) The place where HMM receives cargo from the shipper and HMM’s own

responsibility starts. It might be a port or an inland point.

POL (Port of Loading) The first port where cargo is loaded on the ocean vessel (mother or feeder

vessel).

POD (Port of Discharge) The last port where cargo is discharged from the ocean vessel (mother or

feeder vessel) for inland transportation.

PVY (Place of Delivery) The place where HMM delivers cargo to the customer and HMM’s

responsibility expires.

POR POL POD PVY

Receive Cargo 1st Ocean Port Last Ocean Port Release Cargo

1st Vessel Leaves

POR may be the same with POL, and POD may be with PVY.

The section between POL and POD is the ocean route.

Revision 10


2. POD & T/S Port

T/S port is not a POD. POD means the FINAL OCEAN POINT. Therefore, you should not input T/S

port on the POD field.

4. POD HKG Cases

Most of South China inland cargoes are going through Hong Kong. In this case, POD is HKG, NOT

inland point. (It is similar to European areas.) Many offices fail to complete this. Be sure to pay

attention to China inland shipment documentation.

Case 4) Feeder M. Vessel M. Vessel

When the Mother vessel used for connecting to / from Main vessel, such vessel will be

regarded as feeder.

In case Feeder vessel should be entered instead of actual Mother vessel according to T/S

prohibition term of L/C, the following clause must be stated in B/L description field for P&I

Club’s recovery against any possible risk.

- “This cargo is loaded onto M/V [The Name of Mother Vessel] at [The Name of Port]

on [On Board Date].”

Revision 10


B/L Data Closing

1. The Introduction of GIS(Global Integrated System)

- HMM computer system was composed of 8 system, with different database. So, data was not

shared among them unless it is transmitted to others.

- But from Mid 2003, 8 separate system were integrated into a centralized and upgraged one –

GIS(Global Integrated System).

- In GIS environment, B/L transmission job is unnecessary. On behalf, B/L closing job should be

performed.

2. Closing Job

1) Origin office

- Should make sure all B/L data is secured before Closing.

- Should close B/L data after vessel leaves and send loading report to relevant offices (T/S port

and destination office).

2) T/S Port

- Should send T/S report to the destination.

- In case of rollover, should inform origin and destination office.

3) Destination office

- Should make sure all B/L data for discharge are closed before vessel arrives.

- In case of discrepancy or insufficiency, should contact origin office directly and inform HQ TRF

& DOC.

- Only after finding whole B/L is closed, such B/L data can be used for manifest to the customs.

3. B/L Data Closing Due Time

- There is no particular problem of B/L data closing when transit time is enough as TPS & EU service.

Revision 10


But it sometimes does matter when it is Intra-Asia service, where transit time is relatively short.

1) Intra Asia Service

Waybill Service

Waybill is a kind of cargo receipt that is not negotiated at banks. Certain shippers prefer waybill

without issuing original Bill of Lading, so that the consignee may deliver cargo without presentation of

original Bill of Lading at destination.

1. Waybill Service Approval

- When customers want waybill service, each local office should make sure of customers’ credibility

and decide whether the A/C is eligible for waybill service.

- Full authority and responsibility are on each office.

2. Origin Office’ Job

1) Use B/L prefix “WB” to indicate waybill.

Example) BUWB1234567

WBBU1234567

2)Waybill field (of B/L screen 1) should be filled with “Y”, which is the one and only criterion for

waybill. Some waybills may not have “WB” prefix in their numbers, but all waybills must have “Y”

on this field. Waybill is sorted out in the system by this field only.

3)Therefore, when a normal B/L is changed into waybill due to shipper’s late request, be sure to issue

C/A (“Y” or “W” on waybill field) to make it waybill.

Revision 10


4)The phrase “COPY NON-NEGOTIABLE B/L RELEASE PROCEDURE” should be inputted on the

description column.

5) Input “Cargo Release Request” and transmit it to the destination at lease 3 (working) days before

vessel reaches the destination. All prepaid freight/charges should be collected before ‘C.R.R.’

input. C.R.R. must not be issued when there is credit problem with the shipper or outstanding

remains.

6)Use “Waybill & C.R.R. Pre-Check Inquiry” program just after a certain vessel leaves your port in

order to find Waybill for which C.R.R. is not issued.

3. Destination Office’ Job

1) You should release cargo to the consignee only after confirming “C.R.R.” sign from the origin.

2) When the consignee request cargo release against waybill but you cannot find C.R.R. confirmation

on the system, then you should contact the origin office to find the reason. (And carbon copy to

HQ TRF & DOC.) You must not release cargo till you get C.R.R. from the origin.

3) The usual causes of delayed C.R.R. input originate from shipper’s non-payment, origin office’s

failure to issue C.R.R., or transmission problem.

Revision 10


Cargo Release without Original B/L

Basically, cargo can be released to the customer against original Bill of Lading. But sometimes,

original documents are delayed or lost, and customers request cargo release without original Bill of

Lading. In this case, HMM offices have to secure counter-measures to prevent possible hazard for

HMM and our customers.

1. Normal Release

- Cargo can be released to the customer at destination when one of original Bills of Lading is

surrendered with due endorsement. In that case, the other copies of Bills of Lading become void.

2. In Case of “To Order Bill of Lading” or Bank Related

- When the consignee requests cargo release without presenting original Bill of Lading at destination,

concerned office should make sure of one of followings;

a. If the consignee can submit Letter of Indemnity(P&I recommended format ‘INT GROUP

AA’ ) endorsed by consignee and opening bank stipulated on the L/C.

b. If the shipper or the consignee can deposit certain amount of money, which is 120% of

cargo’s invoiced value.

- In case of a and b above, shipper’s written agreement letter should be collected. That means that

the shipper should know the whole story and agree to release cargo without original B/L.

‘INT GROUP AA : P&I format which requires customer & banker’s endorsement jointly. It

was recommended by P&I and SEL Insurance & Legal Dept to secure our possible loss

highly. This format should be substituted for Local Bank L/G.

Revision 10


3. In Case of “Straight Bill of Lading” (Bank Not-Related)

- Cargo can be released against Letters of Indemnity(P&I recommended format ‘INT GROUP A’)

from the shipper and the consignee. This suggests that the shipper should know the matters and

agree to do so.

- When the Bill of Lading is based on the L/C, it is covered by the condition “In Case of To Order Bill

of Lading”. Only the cargo that is not on L/C base can be released against Letters of Indemnity

only.

4. After Releasing

- If the cargo was released without collecting original documents due to delay of courier service,

destination office should collect original Bill of Lading as soon as it arrives.

- L/G or Cash can be returned to the customer only after Bill of Lading is surrendered or expires by

the local law.

5. Cargo Release Status Input into System

- As a part of tight control of cargo release, especially w/o OB/L, you should use "Cargo Release

Status" (Wins#2321/2322) and input the data without delay.

1) Main Purpose

This menu designed to help managers monitor cargo release situation at any time so that it can

avoid any mistake in cargo release process. Seoul HQ Traffic & Documentation will be monitoring

every month how well this Cargo Release Status is inputted and release cargo with right process.

2) Requirement

Input if necessary document is collected according to 'TRF& DOC Guidelines'

3) Notes

Already knew that some areas don't have D/O(Delivery Order) procedure & system, so Seoul HQ is

trying to find good solutions to connect your existing program to reduce any extra burden.

ex) In case of US, the last input date of 3Y will be transferred to D/O date in new system.

- In this regard, need information, system logic, & idea about your own Inbound program related

to cargo release.

6. Report to Head Quarter

- All offices should report to the Head Quarter Service Coordination Dept, Traffic & Documentation

section when cargo is released without original Bill of Lading.

- Reports should be succeeded till the case is finished.

7. Notes

- To release cargo without original documents should be handled with very cautiousness. It could

lead to terrific trouble.

- Local managers should take care of this matter with their own hands.

Cargo Release Request (C.R.R.)

C.R.R.(Cargo Release Request) program aims at swift release of cargo at destination when the

necessary jobs have been done at origin part. C.R.R. input at origin means that cargo can be

released to the consignee immediately at destination.

Revision 10


1. Job Procedures

1) C.R.R. is used in case of either of following two cases;

a. Full set of original Bill of Lading is surrendered at origin or 3rd country.

b. Waybill has been issued and all prepaid charges have been already collected.

2) Only origin office has the authority to issue C.R.R. (Except for C.R.R. D Type)

3) Origin office must make sure if all prepaid charges are collected before issuing C.R.R.

4) C.R.R. screen shows 3 cases for C.R.R. issuing. One of them should be selected.

a. Original B/L Surrendered and No Outstanding for Prepaid Freight

b. Copy Non-Negotiable B/L Issued and No Outstanding for Prepaid Freight

c. Way Bill Issued and No Outstanding for Prepaid Freight

d. Original Straight B/L issued and Full-Set surrendered at 3rd country(not related to Tri-

party Service)

* A, B, C Types should be inputted by Origin, but D Type can be inputted by 3rd country.

5) After confirming C.R.R. in the system, be sure to transmit C.R.R. data to the destination instantly.

6) Now, destination office can release cargo without collecting original documents only by confirming

C.R.R. issued at origin. Brief sign of “SUR” is seen on B/L Inquiry screen.

2. Notes

1)C.R.R. means the approval to release cargo right away and its purpose is swift cargo release for

customers. So, origin office should be both cautious and quick in issuing C.R.R.

2)When full set of original Bill of Lading was surrendered at third country, then the third country office

can issue C.R.R. and brief sign of “SUR” is seen on B/L Inquiry screen. After that the cargo can

be released at Destination.

3)Surrender of To Order B/L is not allowed as the B/L is negotiable and its cargo can not be delivered

without OB/L presentation, so that C.R.R. of To Order B/L is blocked in the system. If you

Revision 10


specially need to surrender of To Order B/L for the commercial reason, please contact HMM

Seoul HQ TRF&DOC.

Endorsement

When release cargo against presentation of O.B/L, it should be strictly checked that endorsement

requirements are well fulfilled. For endorsement requirements for various cases, please refer to

below table.

1) Straight B/L

* In case there no "Non-Negotiable" clause on Straight B/L, whether the straight B/L is negotiable or not

depends on local practices of each country. But, even when it is regarded as negotiable, shipper’s

written agreement is required to release the cargo to the receiver who is not consignee on the B/L.

Tri-Party Service

Tri-party service is defined as B/L release or freight collection at 3 rd country on behalf of origin and

destination offices.

1. Service Type

A Type : Only original Bill of Lading is released at 3rd country (including destination office).

B Type : Only freight / charge is collected at 3rd country.

C Type : Both original Bill of Lading is released and freight/charge is collected at 3rd country.

2. Job Flow

1) Tri-party

a. Origin office

- At shipper’s request, origin office should issue tri-party data in tri-party program and

close the input data in time.

b. Third party office

- Need to check every incoming tri-party data daily basis and contact with customer, then

perform service type instructed by origin office through tri-party program.

c. Destination office

Revision 10


- Inquiry on-line log daily and take next steps accordingly.

- Before releasing cargo, destination office should check whether all confirm signs are

done or not. In a case that problems are caused by destination offices’ failure of checking

the above, we will impose the responsibilities on destination offices. So, please be

careful when you release cargo to consignee in tri-party shipments.

Special note

- All tri-party freight and charges should be paid prior to releasing O B/L at issuing

office. Thereby terms of “collect at tri-party” is not allowed. Only “prepaid at tri-party” is

acceptable and each B/L issuing office should check payment to tri-party office before

releasing O B/L. In case of ‘Surrender B/L’, ‘CRR’ sign should be issued after

payment confirmation by tir-party office.

2) Tri-party issuance

Origin office can input tri-party data by using tri-party issue program.

First step : Input tri-party (type A, B, C)

Second step : Input concerned agents on AGT input column

Third step : Select FRT/CHGS to be collected at third country

Fourth step : Input contact party address, TEL No., FAX No., remark.

3) Amendment of tri-party data

- Origin office can change tri-party agent by using tri-party update program. But, after

confirmation, origin office has to ask SEL HQ Revenue Management Section to amend tri-

party data.

3. Limitation of responsibility for tri-party confirmation.

- To avoid any further unreasonable delay in tri-party confirmation, we would ask all your keen

attention to this.

- The meaning of tri-party confirmation in system is as under;

1) In case of the cash A/C

Revision 10


- Tri-party confirms that tri-party already received payments from cash A/C.

2) In case of the credit A/C

- Tri-party confirms that invoice was issued to credit A/C and tri-party is responsible for receiving

payment from credit A/C within credit term.

- Tri-party docs will have to make confirmation in system only after concerned section issue invoice

to credit A/C

4. Notes

1) Multi-confirmation function is working. More than two agents can confirm their positions.

2) Origin office can amend data if other parties have not confirmed by using update option.

3) Only agent code is allowed for 3rd parties and location code is not permitted.

5. Revenue Management Section

Revenue Management Section is the superintending tri-party jobs. If you face unexpected problems,

you can contact person in A/R Section for help.

Revision 10


6. DOF(Documentation Fee) settlement under Tri-party DOCS – “DOT”

1) Principle

- When a bill of lading is issued at the 3rd Country(Other than cargo origin), only the 3rd

country’s DOF(Documentation Fee) shall be applied. In other words, the origin port’s DOF

should be applied. Which can cause a serious complaint from A/C as a double charging.

For Example : Cargo origin – HKHKG, OB/L Issued at – KRSEL

Only Korea’s DOF shall be assessed and collected in Korea I/O HKHKG DOF collection.

- In this case, Tri-party type should be “C” I/O “A’. Because 3rd Agent should issue OB/L &

collect the DOF charge. So 3rd country’s DOF(Freight kind “DOT”) should be manifested in

the B/L & Tri-party Docs altogether by origin office. And 3rd country office have to confirm

OB/L issuing and DOF collection in the tri-party system.

2) Exception

- When a bill of loading is issued at the 3rd country which has no “DOF provision”, the origin

port’s DOF shall be applied.

- When the 3rd country and the origin port have no “DOF provision” at the same time, NO DOF

shall be applied.

Revision 10

Split, Combined B/L

Under certain circumstances, a single B/L may be split into two or more sets of B/L. Conversely, two or

more sets of B/L may be combined into one.

1. Split B/L procedure.

A split B/L occurs when a single B/L is divided into two or more Bs/L. Split B/L is also the name of one

of the multiple Bs/L resulting from the split transaction itself.

a. Split at Shipper’s Request – Before original B/L issued.

(1) Shipment information contains at least one item for each B/L to be issued and that shipper

specifies in writing which item, and/or container shall be covered by each B/L.

(2) Split the shipment information. Keep the original shipment/booking number for one split part of

the cargo and assign new B/L number to the parts of the cargo split from the original shipment

(3) Make sure that the total item count, weight and measure is equal to that before split

(4) Follow the usual procedure for B/L input, reconciliation, rating and release.

b. Split at Shipper’s Request – After original B/L issued.

(1) Full set of Original issued must be surrendered before proceeding.

(2) Split the shipment information. Keep the original B/L number for one split part of the cargo and

assign new B/L numbers to the parts of the cargo split from the original shipment.

(3) Input package count, weight, measurement and rate information for each B/L, being certain that

the totals for the new B/L exactly equal to the original shipment information.

(4) Make sure the new B/L freight charges equal to the original total freight charges.

(5) If the split is accomplished after B/L closing, details of the changes & charges must be

forwarded to the destination/HQ with message.

c. Split by the Carrier – Cargo rolled or advanced.

Revision 10


- On occasion, carrier will split part of a shipment for logistical reasons and will be rolled or advanced

the remainder.

- In such cases Carrier will use the split B/L transaction for that part of the shipment which is rolled or

advanced.

[Special Note]

- Please don’t confuse ‘SPLIT’ function with ‘ACCURE’ function*.

- When you need to split original B/L, only ‘SPLIT’ function should be used.

- Especially for TPS E/B cargo B/L, the above instruction should be followed strictly. Otherwise, it will

result in AMS/ACI filing failure and penalties. And origin office will be responsible for them.

* ‘ACCURE’ function is for creating new B/L after original B/L closing. The new B/L, created

through ‘ACCURE’ function, is totally separate one from original B/L.

2. Combined B/L procedure

A combined B/L occurs when multiple B/L are combined to form one B/L. When requested by a

shipper, carrier will consolidate two or more shipment or B/L into one B/L.

a. Consolidation at Shipper’s Request – before original B/L issued.

(1) Combine the shipment/booking numbers into one master B/L number.

(2) The remaining B/L information is input, reconciled with shipment, rated and released.

b. Consolidation at Shipper’s Request – After original B/L issued.

(1) Check that the shipper has surrendered all original B/L of each set.

(2) Number the new B/L with one of the numbers of the Old sets. Void the other B/L numbers by

combining.

(3) Make sure the freight charges on the new B/L set equal to the original totals.

(4) Complete the remaining B/L information, reconcile with shipment, rate the shipment and

release it.

(5) Communicate all charges and amendments to concerned offices, especially the destination

Revision 10


office.

Revision 10


S witch B/L

Sometimes the shipper asks carrier to provide them the switch B/L service. Please refer to the followings

which explains the procedures of Switch B/L.

1. Origin Office.

a. On the issuing of OB/L, origin should be filled with actual origin port name and destination should

be filled with actual final destination port name not with switch port name.

b. Origin port is responsible for preparing all shipping documents related with switch B/L.

c. After receiving ultimate shipper/Consignee/Notify information from switch office with 1st OB/L

surrender confirmation, issue C/A accordingly.

2. Switch office.

a. After collection of full sets of 1ST B/L, issue switch B/L(2nd B/L)

b. No more additional documentation work is to be done at switch office.

c. Switch office has to receive actual ultimate consignee & notify parties from the switcher. Then

such information should be sent to concerned parties, especially origin office to issue C/A

accordingly.

d. Issue switch B/L(2nd B/L) after C/A by Origin office.

3. Instructions.

a. In general, in case of request switch B/L, actual consignee & notify party on switch B/L(2ND B/L)

are being changed by switcher. (This switcher belongs to consignee on 1ST B/L being issued by

origin port). However, occasionally, it remains same as 1ST B/L without changes. Even though

nothing changes at switch port, they should notify switch B/L information to relevant parties

without exception in order for origin port to take an appropriate action.

b. Origin office has to issue manifest correction for all switch B/L based on the information received

by switch office in spite of duplicable jobs in order to avoid confusion & argument against the

Revision 10


responsibility when the problem is arisen.

c. In the process of documentation, OB/L number must not be changed by switch office because

one shipment has to be remained as one unique B/L for three years at least.

d. Only customer information(shipper, consignee & notify parties) could be changed and sometimes

cargo description could be modified as per switcher’s request. But other information should not be

changed. Especially POR/POL/POD/PVY and On-board date should remain at any case when

B/L switched.

e. Additional handling fee and Documentation fee for switch B/L should be collected as per general

tariff.

R eceived B/L

1. Definition

Received B/L is a kind of ‘Dock receipt’ or ‘Warehouse receipt’ which is issued by Carrier to certify

that the cargo is received in good condition. After cargo is loaded, received B/L is replaced by O.B/L

or by adding ‘On board endorsement’ received B/L itself is used as O.B/L.

2. Format

- Mark "*** RECEIVED B/L ONLY ***".

- Do not put on-board date when issue Received B/L.

- Recommend to describe "On [CY-in date], received in apparent good order and condition from

[shipper's name] to be transported by the steamship" on B/L body.

- If customers are strongly reluctant to have the clause on Received B/L, "Received for shipment

Mar.31, 2007" is allowed exceptionally.

Revision 10


3. Change Received B/L data

- After collecting the full set of Received B/L, update its data and reissue new Received B/L.

4. Issue/Transfer (to) On-Board B/L

- In case customers ask to issue On-Board B/L after they have Received B/L, make sure to collect

the full set of Received B/L

- In case customers would like to use Received B/L as On-Board B/L after their cargo's actual on-

board, confirm that customers don't want to have newly issued On-Board B/L separately, then mark

"We certify shipment has been loaded on [on-board date]." on Received B/L to transfer to On-Board

B/L.

Memo B/L

A Memo B/L is issued for purposes of manifesting cargos when no commercial B/L is required.

Memo B/L is used for the special occasions noted below.

cargos, Inland CY cargos via PS gate without exception. So, please ask customer to stuff cargo within required weight limitation to avoid serious result.

If overweight booking is inevitable, you must obtain a Letter of Indemnity. 2) Port CY Cargos of PS & PN Gate, Inland CY cargos via PN gate (STL, TCM)

The cargos discharging/releasing at Port CY of PS/PN gate, or Inland rail ramp CY of PN gate has

Revision 10


more room than Inland door move cargos because of cnee's direct cargo pick-up & on-dock facility. So, you can load overweight cargos as before, but please make sure that carrier still exposes to serious legal responsibility & bad reputation.

In fact cnee moves the unit to door delivery point at its own risk for any incident or citation, but "bad publicity" goes to the carrier whose name is the equipment and some legal liability could be placed to carrier. if carrier knew overweight situation in advance and the problem is in accident during cnee's cargo transportation. Thus, you are strongly requested to let customers know reality correctly and hold all responsibilities to them when incident happens.

3) East CoastBasically you need to adhere to the standard weight limitation of said mentioned chart to reduce overweight cargoes. If overweight cargo booking is necessary, please obtain a letter of indemnity for Local Door cargoes, Inland CY cargoes, Inland Door cargoes without fail, but U.S. East port CY cargo is not required to get a Letter of Indemnity from customer like above 2.-2)

4) Special Arrangement (1) Tri-axle Chassis In case that 20' container exceeds the said weight limitation, tri-axle chassis is available

within allowable maximum weight limitation (20,000 Kgs) & permitted locations. First attachment shows you possible service points, but please make sure Tri-axle chassis service is possible subject to trucker's chassis availability in destination.

(2) Super Chassis The super chassis service is also allowable in very limited locations up to maximum gross weight

25,629 Kgs, but this service is acceptable subject to chassis availability in destination (See first attachment).

(3) Motorbridge Carriage (MTC) The main reason that motorbridge carriage requires less weight limits than normal move is due to

the additional weight of the flatbed/stepdeck trailer. The flatbed/stepdeck weight is 7,000 ~ 8,000 Ibs and for this reason, gross weight must be reduced in order to comply with different weight limitation of each state. The second attachment is the table of gross weight limitation you have to remember.

3. Handling Procedure

1) Origin Office- Recognize weight limitation of U.S & handling procedure then have all valuable customers know it correctly.- Make a filtering overweight cargos by installed program (#2875) before cargo loading.- Inform customers of overweight cargo immediately and ask them to adjust cargo within weight limitation.

- If overweight cargo booking/loading is necessary, Please obtain a Letter of Indemnity. - In case that S/C contains overweight clause already, you can accept overweight cargo booking as it is. - Send a pre-notification to HII MKTG & RCSC when tri-axle & super chassis are required but, you have to know that service is available subject to special chassis availability & additional charge.

- List-up regular customers who load overweight cargos then report it to HQ (SEL T&D, BKG, PRC) onmonthly base.

2) Destination Office- If any overweight cargos which violate said mentioned procedure, Please hold cargo and notify it to

Revision 10


origin office & HQ. - Change service term from DR to CY (Port/Rail ramp) when DR arrangement is impossible.- Door delivery is impossible, Please transload cargo into new van after consignee's confirmation.- Collect all generated charges from cnee as a "collect base" before cargo moving/arrangement to avoid

outstanding. - Make a black list of customers who misdeclare gross weight of B/L then report it to origin office & HQ - RCSC’s list-up all overweight cases then report it to HQ (SEL T&D, BKG, PRC) on monthly base.

4. Others

1) Collection of Letter of Indemnity In relation to 1) Local Door Cargos of PS & PN, Inland Door Cargos, Inland CY cargos via PS Gate

(LBH/LA, OAK) 2. application of weight limitation, you must obtain a Letter of Indemnity from Customer if overweight cargo booking is necessary .

Here are two Letter of Indemnity formats you can use according to customer type.- For spot case overweight booking customers - Use short term format of attachment. (Form # 13-1) L/I of overweight cargo(Short Term)- For regular overweight booking customers - Use long term format of attachment (Form # 13-2) L/I of overweight cargo(Long Term)

2) Generated Charges & Payment

For overweight cargo, several charges such as tri-axle chassis charge, super chassis charge, cargo transloading, demurrage, citation, fines, etc would be incurred and they are governed by HMM general rule tariff. Also these charges should be settled at destination before cargo moving to avoid outstanding. Tariff is being reviewed by SEL TPS PRC and it will be announced to you sooner or later.

3) Misdeclaration of Gross Weight

If customers misdeclare gross weight of shipping request intentionally to pass HMM's filtering before loading, all responsibilities including legal & monetary portion are on customer without argument as per HMM rule tariff & shipping document.

4) Terms - Net Weight : Weight of cargo items itself excluding packing. - Cargo Weight : Weight of cargo item & packing and this is the same as “Gross Weight”

of Bill of Lading. - Tare Weight : Weight of container. - Gross Weight : Cargo weight plus Tare weight - Total Weight : Total weight of tractor, chassis, container and cargo.

Korea I ntensified R estriction on W eight Li mitation

1. Overview

No Booking with 25 ton over can be accepted.All figures are on Gross Weight basis. *Gross Weight = Tare Weight not included.This guide is applicable to All types of container & effective immediately.

2. Details of New enforcement & effects

A. Announced by Ministry of Construction & Transportation : Whoever request a overweight transportation is subject to “penalty USD 2,000 or 1 year imprisonment”.(In case of CY Term, It is consignee who requests transportation(Merchant Haulage) of container & must accept consequences described above, While Carrier is supposed to take the same consequences for Door Term biz.)

B. Announced by Korea Customs Service : Cargo with weight in excess of 25 ton is not allowed to use bonded transportation & False entry of manifest against actual weight should be subject to penalty of USD.(With the effect of above, No shipment over 25 ton will leave the Terminal in Korean except Transshipment)

3. Complete Guideline on weight limitation

A. Door Term shipment : Under 19 ton/20’, 23 ton/40’ can be loaded.

B. CY Term shipment : Under 25 ton can be loaded.

4. Additionals (Official Announcement to Customers)

A. Failure to comply with the captioned regulation(2-A&B, 3-B) may result in heavy penalty on the consignee.

B. It is the responsibility of the shipper to make the proper(EVEN) stuffing in the container. More importantly, All shippers should assure that accurate Gross weight should be provided to us.Such a result as cost/penalty imposed by Korea Government authorities to HMM related to non-compliance with the just above would be taken care of by Shipper.

You should put a notice on all shippers on the above facts. There is no safety in making assumptions about penalty for the Consignee’s violation of road regulation.Your attention & cooperation are greatly appreciated.

Revision 10


On-Deck Clause for S pecial CNTR(OT/FR) S towed on D eck

There has been guidance on this issue for years, but we are here with it again. In spite of HQ Service Coordination Dept and HQ Insurance & Legal Dept's guideline, continuous claims on the damages of cargoes(OT-Open Top container/FR-Flat Rack container) which were carried on deck have brought HMM considerable loss. The below must be observed.

1. Special CNTR(OT/FR) Loaded Under Deck

According to HQ Insurance & Legal Dept, clean B/L implies the fact that cargo is loaded Under Deck, in other words, it means that cargo is to be loaded Under Deck unless the position of loaded cargo is stated clearly on the B/L. So, basically, carrier(HMM) should arrange special CNTR(OT/FR) under deck without fail.

2. Carrier's responsibility

In case that a carrier infringes the point mentioned 1. above and if the carrier loaded cargoes(OT/FR) on deck, the action is a 'FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OF CONTRACT' and the carrier should compensate for all the possible losses which are due to the fact that cargo(OT/FR) is being loaded on deck. In addition, P&I club doesn't cover it.

3. Instruction - Measures that carrier(HMM) should take

First of all, the big principle is that special CNTR(OT/FR) should be loaded under deck. But, when carrier(HMM) fail to meet the rule and if carrier loads OT/FR on deck, carrier(HMM) must observe following, 3-1),3-2),3-2)-a)&3-2)-b).

1) It is required that carrier should get written agreement letter from the shipper without fail on the point

that carrier loads cargoes(OT/FR) on deck.

2) 'On Deck Clause (as mentioned on below 2)-a),2)-b))' should be stated on B/L description column without fail.- There are two kinds of 'On Deck Clause', following a) is for the general shipments, following b) is

for the shipments 'from or to the ports in the American continent'.

a) General on deck clause( use for the general shipments except 'In-bound/Out-bound of the American continents') : "CARRIED ON DECK AT SHIPPER'S RISK WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE HOWSOEVER CAUSED"

b) On deck clause for the shipments, 'In-bound or Out-bound of the American continents' : "CARGO CARRIED ON DECK AT RISK OF SHIPPER/RECEIVER. CARRIER NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE WHATSOEVER TO CARGO CARRIED ON DECK, EVEN IF CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE CARRIER OR ITS AGENTS OR THE UNSEAWORTHINESS OF THE VESSEL"

Revision 10


Please note, if the carrier(HMM) can't observe the requirements above, 3-1),3-2),3-2)-a) & 3-2)-b), the special CNTR(OT/FR) should be loaded under deck without fail.

4. Carrier(HMM)'s risk when you miss the requirements(3,3-1),3-2),3-2)-a,3-2)-b)) mentioned on above NO.3.

As for the special container(OT/FR) which we carry on deck without collection of 'shipper's written agreement' or without 'on deck clause' on the B/L description column, carrier does not have any protective measures against claims of cargo damage result from the various weather conditions(rain,wind & storm). Carrier should take all the monetary & legal responsibility for possible loss result from an act which conform to 'FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OF CONTRACT' because P&I club doesn't cover it.

5. 'Shipper's agreement & On Deck Clause'

SEL TRF & DOC section would like to emphasize again the point that 3,3-1),3-2),3-2)-a),3-2)-b) should be met without fail. If you can't satisfy any of them(3,3-1),3-2),3-2)-a),3-2)-b)), special CNTR(OT/FR) must be loaded under deck.

6. Remark

Please note, the relevant responsibilities on problems result from loading special CNTR(OT/FR) on deck will be on origin office.

Revision 10


I n T ransit T o (A) B y (B) - Prohibition clause 1. Responsible sector of carrier

As you all know well, there's a specific POR, POL, POD & PVY columns on the Bill of Lading to indicate Carrier's responsible sectors of transportation. In the same manner with the other columns of the B/L, the truth should be filled in.

2. Legal Problems-when you input the clause, ‘Cargo is IN TRANSIT TO A by B’ on the B/L

The problems are generated when you input the clause, 'Cargo is IN TRANSIT TO A by B on the B/L.

HQ Legal & Insurance Dept. is seriously pointing out the danger and risk. In case that the clause, 'Cargo is IN TRANSIT TO A by B' is on the B/L, there can be a legal claims relevant to the cargo damage or loss in the sector, from PVY to A which have no concern with HMM. Furthermore, HQ Legal & Insurance Dept. make it clear that Carrier will be disadvantageous position because of the mentioned clause on B/L when 3rd party or lawful original B/L holders take a legal action against HMM. HQ Legal & Insurance Dept. emphasized again that any similar wordings as above should NEVER be inserted on the Bill of Lading.

3. Prohibit inputting ‘IN TRANSIT TO’ clause - instruction

1) HQ TRF & DOC section prohibit inputting ‘Cargo is in transit to A by B’ & Any similar clause on the B/L(Original B/L, Copy B/L, Waybill) description column. Please note, we also prohibit inputting any clause relevant to the wording, ‘IN TRANSIT TO’. So, please do not allow the customer to add any certain similar clause with modified wording which has the similar meaning with ‘IN TRANSIT TO’.

Please note again, any similar wordings as ‘Cargo is in transit to A by B’ should never be inserted on any type of the B/L(Original B/L, Copy B/L, Waybill).

2) Only when both ‘3-2)- and 3-2)- ’ in below are satisfied at the same time, HQ TRF & DOC section ① ②allow you to input the clause, ‘Cargo is IN TRANSIT TO A by B’ on the B/L. And the same principle applies to “the similar clauses to ‘IN TRANSIT TO’”.① ‘A’ of “Cargo is IN TRANSIT TO ‘A’ by B” should be the same with ‘the location name on the

PVY column of the B/L’.② ‘B’ of “Cargo is IN TRANSIT TO A by ‘B’” should be ‘Hyundai Merchant Marine’ or ‘Carrier’. ③ Above , applies to “the similar clauses to ’IN TRANSIT TO’”, for example, ‘(Cargo is) Shipped ① ②

to : A’, ‘(Cargo is) Transported to : A’, ‘Final Destination : A’.

The correct input wording is as under.

“Cargo is IN TRANSIT TO A(a location name on the PVY column of the B/L).”

“Cargo is IN TRANSIT TO A(a location name on the PVY column of the B/L) by Hyundai Merchant Marine.”

“Cargo is IN TRANSIT TO A(a location name on the PVY column of the B/L) by Carrier.”

“Cargo is Shipped to : A(a location name on the PVY column of the B/L).”

Please note, any of above ‘3-2)- or 3-2)- ’is not satisfied, you should follow 3-1) without fail.① ②

Dangerous Cargo Handling

1. InquiryBefore accepting dangerous cargo booking, you have to contact the destination office to confirm whether subject dangerous cargo is handled at destination port. Each local area has its own complex restriction rule for dangerous cargo. So you have to accept D.G. cargo only after obtaining the firm confirmation from the destination.

2. ApplicationHQ SEL Operation D.G. Center handles D.G. cargo application and its arrangement. Therefore, be sure to contact D.G. center before loading D.G. cargo. You can contact D.G. center by using D.G. Cargo Application program. If you input detailed D.G. information into the system, you can receive the reply very early.

Revision 10


LONG IDLING CONTAINERS

1. Definition of Long Idling Containers1)Long Idling Container means the unit which has been unclaimed by the customer, therefore,

remained as DF (Discharge Full) status over free time. It usually stays at CY (Container Yard) or ODCD (Off-Dock Container Yard).

2)Therefore, idling containers are much liable to incur storage cost, which is the real cost for HMM. Of sometimes, customer pays it to the terminal directly but sometimes the carrier should pay for it even though the customer does not pay it to HMM.

3)Equipment is also out of use while the containers are idling. Therefore, HMM loses opportunity to circulate boxes, which is finally HMM’s loss.

2. Jobs at Destination1) Each office should try its best to solve long idling cargo as soon as possible.

2) The relevant office should know the reason of idling and find a solution for it.

3) If the situation is out of office’s control, the office should contact the origin and HQ appointed PIC of long idling to get support.

4) The main purpose is to reduce cost and settle fast.

3. Jobs for HQ appointed PIC of Long Idling (RHQ/KOR/HKG/JPN/DXB)1) The PIC has a responsibility to control all long idling containers in his/her area and send weekly

report to HQ TRF & DOC.

2) The PIC should make out weekly target & plan to settle long idling.

4. Weekly Report1) HQ TRF & DOC, Global Traffic Coordination team is taking care of long idling containers.

2) Each HQ appointed PIC of long Idling should send weekly report, containing current situation & target of long idling, to HQ TRF & DOC.

3) Each report should include details of DRY containers idling over 100 days and of RF containers idling over 30 days. Details are as follows; agent name in charge of, Bill of Lading number, container number, idling days, who holds OB/L, if abandon letter is received, possibility of auction or disposal, incurred cost (demurrage/detention, storage, etc.), commodity, current status, action taken to solve and remark.

4) The report should arrive at HQ TRF & DOC by every Wednesday.

- Destination office has to inform the exact amount of demurrage/detention charges till expected date to origin office.

- Origin office should input such amount on the Bill of lading clearly as ‘DMT’ code and collect it from shipper side without fail.

- Destination office would ask HQ or RHQ to eliminate demurrage/detention outstanding amount in the system by affording related B/L numbers manifested ‘DMT’ as prepaid amount.

Inland Live Reefer Service Local Practice - USA

1. OutlineThis is the common standard procedure for inland live RF service (to USA), which is composed at Seoul TPS Marketing Department with the help of HASA AHQ. Service failure related to live reefer has some risks that might cause big cost. Therefore, following procedures should be familiar in order to prevent any mistakes. And contact SEL TPS Marketing department for more help.

2. Booking RequestAny Sales and CSR staffs should send a request to Seoul TPS Booking at least 1 week earlier than the vessel departure. Following “Request Form” should be used;

Origin A/C VOL(FEU) VSL/VOY Commodity POD PVY Remark

HKHKG AAA 2 HFM046E Fish USLGB USCHI **

** Fill in the “Remark” with vents and temperature setting.

3. Booking ApprovalThe origin office should get booking approval. Seoul TPS Booking section controls booking for inland reefer and performance.

4. Pre-AlertThe origin office should send pre-alert to all parties concerned as soon as the mother vessel departs. Use following form.

Origin A/C VSL/VOY CNTR No. B/L No Commodity POD PVY

5. POD CoordinationDavid Webster in RCSC PIX coordinates with the Marine Terminals to ensure which units require a

Revision 10


clipon gen-set and which units require under-slung gen-set.

6. Communication with U.S. for Inland TransitInbound manifesting and land-bridge movements are all coordinated with above parties in STEP 4. HII DST coordinators will ensure movement on TOFC with underslung gen-sets or COFC on mixed cars if Clipon gen-sets used. And these gentlemen will ensure cargo movement from the terminals to the rails.

7. Rail MovementMark Smith and Mark Krcil in CHI RCSC gather all information and advise our vendor "TRACE INC." of all inland reefer movements on the rails. TRACE INC. provides protective service, monitors all reefers, and refuels the gen-sets enroute and at destinations until cargo is picked up by consignees.

8. Consignee ReportRCSC or HASA local offices should send consignees the arrival notice and other required documents for impending cargo. After delivery, get a confirmation from consignee and advise origin offices that delivery has been finalized without any problem.

9. Gen-set MonitoringHASA EQP is in charge of this procedure from the advice of Mark Cash in STEP 5.

10. Re-positioningHASA EQP should keep track of the gen-sets upon their return to HASA at destination rail ramp or CY and re-position them to USWC in a timely manner without idling at CHI, NYC and other inland points.

11. Overall CoordinationLarry Marvin in AHQ TRF should coordinate overall job procedures required in the U.S. and notify all parties concerned when service problems happen, service procedures change and so forth.

Prorating Local Practice - USA

1. MeaningWhen there are two or more commodities in one container, the ocean freight is rated separately on the basis of the percentage out of total CBM for SOME VIP A/C. (Its clauses are stipulated on the Service Contract.) In order to utilize this fully and audit whether the amount of ocean freight has been applied, you should show the percentage of CBM in the column of quantity. Let us show you a standard example

4. Explanation of Above Two SampleThe two Bills of Lading above are for one container HDMU6939066. Out of 62.9 CBM, 35.53 CBM is 56% and 27.37 CBM is 44%. Consequently, total ocean freight USD 1,975.00 is applied respsctively into USD 1,106.00 and USD 869.00.

5. Notesa. Prorating is an exceptional service provided to some VIP customers, and its agreement should be

specified on the Service Contract.b. Now it is applied to TPS E/B business only.

Revision 10


No “USSEA, CY” in PSW & PNW Service Local Practice - USA

Since April, 1999, PSW and PNW vessels are not calling Seattle(USSEA), but Tacoma(USTIW). It means that USSEA CY is not allowed. Some customers, who are not aware of this, complain of the trucking cost from USTIW CY to USSEA CY. But there is no way but to do so.

1. No “USSEA, CY”Because PSW and PNW do not call Seattle any more, it is not appropriate to have “USSEA, CY” as PVY. Therefore, input or amend PVY and service term as “USSEA, Door”, “USTIW, CY” or “USTIW, Door” instead of “USSEA, CY” when inputting B/L data. (S/C also should reflect this point.)

USTIW, CY Okay USTIW, Door Okay USSEA, Door Okay USSEA, CY Unacceptable

When it is PNW or PNW service.

2. Trucking Cost to “USSEA, CY” If the shipper or consignee wants their cargo to be delivered from “USTIW, CY” to “USSEA, CY nevertheless, then let them arrange trucking and pay for it.

Revision 10


POD of Florida Service Points by APX Local Practice - USA

Since APX began to call Miami, Florida directly July, 2001, there has been some confusion about the routing to Florida points. All origin offices, be sure to remember following guideline.

1. POD USMIAPOD of all shipment for southern Florida points should be USMIA (Miami, FL) rather than USCST (Charleston, SC). That is the basic principle.

2. POD USSAV and POD USCST PossibleLocations north of Orlando/Tampa should be routed via USSAV(Savannah, GA) where the container can be moved via on dock rail facilities instead of trucking.

For the following exceptional cases, origin office can load cargo to POD USCST.- When a vessel/voyage of APX does not call USMIA & USSAV.- When you receive from the customer a special request for USCST discharge.- Other urgent cases where USCST discharge is inevitable.

3. NoteA lot of additional cost is incurred if the cargo is routed via USCST into Florida points. So, all origin offices should load Florida cargo for POD USMIA discharge.

Revision 10


OCP(Overland Common Point) Local Practice - USA

Overland Common Point means Empty Container Returning Point. Some customers want to arrange their cargo on their own and return it to certain point under O.C.P. agreement.

1. Obtain a written request from the shipper, which has been agreed by the consignee.

2. Check whether the A/C has a special clause on OCP in its S/C. If the S/C covers OCP service, then you should send OCP notification to AHQ Logistics. If not, you should send OCP application to AHQ Logistics. AHQ Logistics is the right party who has the authority and responsibility to handle OCP.

3. The form hereunder is used as either of notification letter or application.

Notification: Regular shipment that is guaranteed by S/C. Application: Spot shipment that is not guaranteed by S/C.

4. The Origin office should input “OCP” in the shipping term field manually. Followings are the empty container returning points available.

USD 88 per calendar day for Reefer container

- OCP charges are approved at origin offices, please send a pre-alert to US offices to ensure smooth arrangement.

6. Please be aware that HMM doesn’t provide chassis for OCP moves.

Revision 10


Other Rules and Practices Local Practice - USA

1. Flat Rack Securement to IPI locationCargo arriving on flat racks that will be moving via rail to an IPI location must be secured in place with metal straps/bands. We have many shipments arrive with the cargo secured by chains and/or wirerope and the U.S. railroads will not accept this type of securement. When found, the consignee must have the cargo resecured which increases their cost and delays delivery.

2. Overweight ContainersAs always, the situation of moving overweight containers is always with us. HII should be requested to provide definite limits in cargo weight for the various container sizes, and to provide estimates of as to the availability of special chassis to handle these overweight containers. (For example, 20ft tri-axle chassis are available in most major ports, but in not many inland locations. 40ft tri-axle chassis are virtually unheard of on the East Coast but available in the PNW).

3. HAZMAT ShipmentsSpecify that export bookings need to have the HAZMAT details approved by AHQ HAZMAT Dept before the booking is finalized.

HAZMAT shipments scheduled to move on the rails must have their labels located a minimum of 1.52M (60”) above the bottom rail of the container. Labels placed below this point may be rejected by the railroad and the cost of correcting this will be for the account of the cargo.

4. Motor Vehicle ShipmentsHMM does not allow the movement of motor vehicles on the NorfolkSouthern (NS) or the CSX railroads. IPI shipments of motor vehicles moving in the Eastern part of the U.S. are not allowed.

Regulations governing the exporting motor vehicles are different from port to port. Shippers must be aware of the requirements before exporting or be prepared to pay export demurrage charges that mayaccrue due to delays in securing the needed approvals.

5. IPI Export ShipmentsTerminals on the U.S. East Coast are only accepting containers that are loading a vessel that is scheduled to arrive within the next week. IPI containers that arrive at the port rail ramp prior to this date will have to stay at the ramp until this delivery window opens. When this happens the cargo willbe responsible for the storage charges billed by the railroad ramp.

Revision 10


U S I mport W ood P acking M aterial R egulation Local Practice - USA

There was delay on enforcement of Wood Packing Material rule arranged by APHIS of USDA, but finally this rule has become effective with Sep 16, 2005 in the U.S., Canada & Mexico. So we would like to summarize main points as follows.

1. Target Packing Materials

All wood Packing Materials (pallet, crates, boxes, dunnage) except manufactured wood material and wine/whiskey barrels, thin pieces of wood (6mm thickness or less), Canadian origin wood.

2. Treatment & Marking

Heat treatment to a minimum wood core temperature of 56 ‘C for a minimum of 30 minutes or fumigation with methyl bromide.

WPM(Wood Packing Material) must be marked with the IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) logo and two letter ISO code for the country that treated the WPM. In this case, certification of treatment is not necessary.

3. Violation

The regulation requires that any shipment containing uncertified wood components must be re-exported. Fumigation at the POD is not an alternative at this time.

When cargo is palletized the IPPC marks may not be visible during a doorway examination (the sides of the pallet are perpendicular to the doorway at this point). Cargo owners should be aware that they can request (and pay for) a full examination of the cargo that will allow the IPPC marks to be visible, allowing the cargo to be cleared.

Thailand – Local Rules and Practices Local Practice - Asia


Thailand’s customs have the regulation to prohibit importing garbage and poison shipment due to the

protection of environment. Especially, ‘Used tire’ and ‘Garbage’ shipment is causing so a lot of trouble

in Thailand. Such shipment has similar qualifications as below.

- No actual consignee in Thailand or impossible to meet them.

- Origin office does not know what is actual cargo in container when investigating it due to trouble.

- Normally CY term in origin side.

So it is required HMM should not offer service for ‘Used tire’ and ‘Garbage’ item except by mutual

agreement between shipper & consignee for providing above qualifications.


We have received notification email from THBKK office regarding announcement from Thailand

Custom office and Port Authority of Thailand (PAT) that with effect from 1 May 2005, all inbound

shipments with DG cargoes will not be allowed to move to Bangkok ICD. Above decision is

concluded between PAT, Customs, Terminals, Laem Chabang officers and Carriers, and supported

by the Thailand Ministry.

Therefore, the above regulation has to be strictly followed by all Carriers and concerned

parties, failing which Customs will impose a penalty fee of THB10,000 from the violators.

The Basic guidelines to be followed by all origins are as flows ;

1) With effective from May 1 2005, all DG will not be allowed to move to Bangkok ICD, for eg Lat

Krabang, THLKR.

2) DG cntrs must be cleared only at THLCH or THBKK. T4, the POD & PVY in B/L must be specified

with either THBKK or THLCH only. *Applies to both FCL & LCL

3) Exceptionally this new regulation does not cover 2 private terminals not located in Bangkok,

namely THBZX & THTMV, which there are feeder svc from SIN direct call. DG cargoes are allowed

to be discharged at those 2 ports but consignee is responsible & hears the empty haulage cost to

move empties back to outside depot.

- The charges are THB1,500/20’ & THB3,000/40’.

- The POD & PVY in B/L must be specified as THBZX or THTMV in this case where private

carrier’s Bill of Lading is required to ensure that they register with the General Administration of Quality

Supervision Inspection and Quarantine of the PRC (“AQSIQ”) and to obtain a certificate from AQSIQ

before the PRC authorities will allow any cargo of scrap materials to be imported into the PRC. Pursuant to

this requirement, we confirm that we have the sole responsibility for registering with AQSIQ and obtaining

the necessary certificate of registration for each shipment of scrap materials that we book with you for

carriage to the PRC on or after 1st January 2005. We further confirm that at the time of booking each

shipment of scrap materials you will be provided with the registration number given to us by AQSIQ for

insertion in the relevant Bill of Lading. We recognize, however, that the mere fact that we have registered

PRC.

Accordingly, in consideration of your agreement to ship cargoes of scrap materials to the PRC on or after

1st January 2005, we hereby agree as follows:

transport our shipments of scrap materials to the PRC (including, but not limited to, their

employees, directors and the officers and crews of the vessels), harmless from and

against all liability, loss, costs, fines, duties, penalties, claims, expense or damage of

whatsoever nature, claimed by you or any other party, which may be sustained as a

as described above, to cover each and every shipment of scrap materials booked with

you, or our failure to fully comply with all and any other regulations of the PRC relating to

the importation of scrap materials.

6. To pay you upon demand the amount of any loss or damage which you, the Owners

and/or charterers of any vessels on which you may transport our shipments of scrap

Dear Sirs,

RE: WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS ON SHIPMENTS OF CONTAINERIZED CARGOES TO UNITED STATES

The importation into the United States of containers which exceed the US guide weight

limitation (17,250 KGS/20’ and 19,959 KGS/40’/4H/45’) is prohibited and may subject

the carrier to a fine or other penalty. In addition, the U.S. Intermodal Safe Container

Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. §5901 et seq., requires the party tendering a container

for shipment by a carrier to provide a certification of the actual gross cargo weight of

each unit to be carried by road within the United States.

Accordingly, In consideration of your agreement to carry our containerized cargoes to

the United States during the year 2005, we hereby agree as follows with respect to any

and all such shipments:

1. That it is our sole responsibility to issue certifications of the actual gross cargo

weights of any units which will be carried by road within the United States.

2. That it is our sole responsibility to tender for carriage only shipments that comply

with the United States’ weight restrictions for containerized units to be carried by road

in the United Sates.

3. To indemnify you and the vessel Owners, your employees, officers, directors,

agents, servants, contractors and sub-contractors and to hold all of you harmless in

respect of any and all liability, loss, damage or expense of whatsoever nature and

howsoever caused including, but not limited to, loss or damage to your shipments of

containerized cargoes, the carrying vessel, the vessel’s cargo or any other property,

fines, penalties, and/or claims for death or personal injury to the crew or any other

parties which you sustain by reason of our breach of our responsibilities as set forth on

paragraphs one and two above.

4. In the event of any proceedings being commenced against you or any of your

servants or agents in connection with the carriage of our shipments of containerized

cargo as aforesaid, to provide you or them on demand with sufficient funds to defend

the same.

5. If, in connection with proceedings as aforesaid, the ship, or any other ship or

property in the same or associated ownership, management or control, should be

arrested or detained or should the arrest or detention thereof be threatened, or should

there be any interference in the use or trading of the ship (whether by virtue of a caveat

being entered on the ship’s registry or otherwise howsoever), to provide on demand

such bail or other security as may be required to prevent such arrest or detention or to

secure the release of such ship or property or to remove such interference and to

indemnify you in respect of any liability, loss, damage or expense caused by such

arrest or detention or threatened arrest or such interference, whether or not such arrest

or detention or threatened arrest or detention or such interference may be justified.

6. The liability of each and every person under this indemnity shall be joint and

several and shall not be conditional upon your proceeding first against any person,

whether or not such person is party to or liable under this indemnity.

7. This indemnity shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English

law and each and every person liable under this indemnity shall at your request submit

to the jurisdiction of the High Court of Justice of England.

Re : Prompt Report to HQ S.C.D.

What a quite problems of all sorts we face everyday! It is inevitable for us to confront every

difficulty, which is usually related to documentation error, traffic failure and so on.

Some problems are small and some are big. But a problem may lead to a big service failure;

that would be most fatal flaw for us, worldwide carrier.

Head Quarter Service Coordination Department (S.C.D.) is managing all service-related matters

(traffic, documentation, freight) and taking follow-up measures to settle and prevent accidents,

potential problems.

It is for this purpose that we ask all offices to send prompt accident report (or mail) on the spot.

Late report (or even no report) on the current accidents would delay HQ’s proper action and

increase the customer’s complaint.

Therefore, following two requests are needed;

First, send a report to HQ S.C.D. Traffic & Documentation Section as soon as any

accident / mis-delivery / service failure is made.

Second, even though main contact party is not HQ S.C.D., be sure to include HQ

S.C.D. in your mailing list.

All liabilities would lie on the liable parties if the case were not reported to HQ.

Contact Points:

HQ Service Coordination Department, Traffic & Documentation Section.

P.I.C according to services and Manager.

Thanks and best regards,

HMM Head Quarter Service Coordination Dept.
