Shipping Regulations
Dear Customers,
We would like to inform you about the new provisional regulations for handling of
second-hand vehicles in al western European ports, valid as from July 1th 2011.
You will certainly understand that these rules - from Environmental and Port
Authorities - must be respected by all parties involved.
Acceptance criteria that a vehicle has to meet:
- vehicles must be drivable; (and for example no flat tires)
- bonnet, boot lid and doors must be present. The two front-doors, viz. the driver’s
and passenger’s door, have to be in working order and it should be possible to open
them manually.
- vehicles must not leak (e.g. fuel, oil, battery fluid, coolant);
- driver’s seat must be present and like the passenger’s seat must be completely
free. If no passenger’s seat is present, the place provided for it also has to be
completely free
- vehicles may not show any visible traces that they have been cut into pieces and
subsequently welded together again
- there should not be any visible signs present that could indicate that the
structure of the vehicle has been damaged (e.g. reinforcement beams or straps);
- there should not be any signs of major fire, structural damage, such as sagging
chassis plates, substantial damage to the bodywork, missing tyres, loose parts, etc.
- Every tanker and tank truck must be accompanied by a cleaning and gas-free
certificate. : attention ! official certificate !
- All basic units + 3.5 ton (trucks, buses, tractors, road material, closed, heavy
delivery vans (“big vans”), and closed trucks) must be self-propelled and able to
drive into the terminal and move around under their own power.
- In the event of a problem with a unit loaded piggyback or on a trailer, the entire
combination will be rejected until the problem with the unit has been resolved.
If it is determined that one of these acceptance criteria is not met, the vehicle
must be refused access to the terminal.
Vehicles that are rejected by the terminal according are not permitted to come on
to the terminal site and have to be removed immediately (to the shipper).
The terminal has to submit to the carrier the “rejected vehicles” form for signature.
The latter contains the instructions which the carrier has to follow by order of the
Port Captains Service (HKD) and for compliance with the regulations issued by the
HKD. A copy of this submitted form is immediately forwarded to the HKD.
Rejected vehicles may not be offered for shipment to any terminal in the Port of
Antwerp area unless their condition has been correctly amended so that they do
meet the acceptance criteria.
The length of stay has to be as short as possible and may be a maximum of 42
calendar days. This period can be extended exceptionally but always only after
approval by the HKD. Vehicles that are not shipped after this period have to be
removed (to the shipper).
No additional cargo may be placed at the terminal
Additional cargo has to be in accordance with all applicable national and
international regulations such as customs regulations, European regulation on the
transfer of waste products, Basel Convention, etc (not inclusive).
IMDG goods, in whatever quantity, are strictly prohibited
Soiled goods are strictly prohibited
Every lorry and/or vehicle of more than 3.5 ton including additional cargo has to be
accompanied by a weigh bill that is not older than 4 hours and on which the
following information is stated:
- company that performed the weighing
- date and time of the weighing
- identification of the vehicle (including chassis number)
- weight of the loaded vehicle
Trucks and vehicles of more than 3.5 ton including additional cargo are to be
regarded as containers and therefore, apart from the provisions imposed herein, also
have to meet all administrative conditions and rules for handling loaded containers
(for example packing list avaible).
A vehicle whose additional cargo does not comply with the rules stated above is to
be regarded as a non-compliant vehicle and will be rejected at the gate .
Vehicles that are found to have irregular additional cargo at the terminals can be
blocked by the competent authorities, but always have to be removed or brought
into conformity within 5 working days.
As you will understand that all parties involved including the shippers have to follow
these new regulations from the Environmental and Port Authorities.
Therefore please support the “Zero tolerance” in order to avoid further problems
with the authorities.
In case you need more information about this subject don’t hesitate to contact
either the Port Authorities either our services.
