EASTER PRE-PLANNING CHECKLIST

Monday, March 31, 2014
Easter will soon be upon us, and with Australia honouring ANZAC Day in the same week, we want to remind all importers of ways to avoid additional costs and time delays. We've made a checklist to make it simple for you.
  • Advise Loch M. ASAP of your opening hours during these breaks along with any emergency contact details. 
  • All customs documentation must be provided to us at least five days prior to vessel arrival. 
  • Original bill of ladings / telex releases must be presented as early as possible. 
  • Advise Loch M. of empty (refer to LMF MT dehire policy) containers immediately to allow the transport operator plenty of time to return the container.
  • Review your operating hours (possibly consider providing Loch M. with gate keys for afterhours easy access). This will increase flexibility with receival and empty collections.
  • Taking note of demurrage commencement dates for your containers. 
  • Communicating with our office immediately on any foreseen problems. 
  • Understanding that the wharf opening times over the Easter / ANZAC Day period will affect your cargo 
Following the above list will lessen your chances of delays and additional costs to your cargo.
