Maersk is committed to ensuring the overall safety of maritime transportation.
Therefore, in a continued effort to support the safety of our staff, your cargo, our vessels and the environment, Maersk will be implementing two new requirements for charcoal producing customers in South Africa
The two changes are as follows:
- A Maersk approved Marine Surveyor will be required to conduct a Factory Audit of the charcoal manufacturer
- A Maersk approved Marine Surveyor will need to complete the physical inspection of the vanning of the cargo and the vanning certificate.
Important to note – any additional costs associated with the new requirements, will be for the shipper’s account and customers are expected to engage with the Surveyors directly.
Please find the updated comprehensive outline of requirements that need to be met to obtain loading acceptance with Maersk for charcoal exports from South Africa.
Initial Acceptance
The local Maersk office will apply for acceptance to load either restaurant or barbeque charcoal from our principals on behalf of the charcoal producer.
Effective, 15 October, 2024 a charcoal manufacturer can only book a shipment once passing this initial acceptance process through a factory audit conducted by one of the following Maersk approved surveyors:
- D.G. Wigmore & Associates Marine Surveyors & Consultants
- Techni-Marine Surveyors
- Dynamic Marine Survey & Solutions
- Patterson & Associates (Pty) Ltd
- General & Marine Surveyors & Assessors
Customers who have not shipped charcoal wth Maersk before can contact the surveyors listed above to get the manufacturer audited. Maersk will then decide whether the manufacturer is eligible to ship charcoal or not with main reference to the initial company audit.
Prohibited charcoal is:
- Dangerous goods
- Wet charcoal
- Charcoal in bulk
- Instant grill
- Charcoal fines <50mm ,Charcoal Dust
- Small particle/fraction
- Charcoal scrap
- Contaminated charcoal
- Packaging more than 50kg
- If cargo packed into 1 KG box
- Cargo is used for waterpipes / shisha / hookah / Nargila or similar
- On any VSA (Partner) vessel
- Acceptable in active reefer against written approval from Stowage team
- Non active reefer not allowed
- Exceeding 45 days total transit time; exception 55 days from Walvis Bay, Namibia
Important to note - Effective 20 August 2019, all customers who misdeclare their Dangerous Goods will be charged a Misdeclaration Fee of 5,000 USD per booking. Any additional costs that will result from taking corrective action (such as correcting the stowage to a safe position on board the vessel, etc.) will be charged in addition to this fee.
For example: A customer declares cargo as non-dangerous when it is in fact dangerous (i.e. the cargo is charcoal which is Class 4.2 but declared as “coconut products”, etc.)
Please refer to Maersk.com to review the policy on Dangerous Cargo Misdeclration Fee. For ease of reference, this can be found here - Here
