Effective March 1, 2025, Maersk will be implementing a $125 service fee for any requests to place a Bill of Lading or Waybill on manual hold for later release.
In the standard process, at the time of loading, all bill types will be issued to the Transport Document Receiver as indicated in the received shipping instructions automatically. Should you need to transfer ownership or modify the bill type, we kindly request that you submit these changes through the available electronic channels or on Maersk.com.
We will continue to process requests for manual bill of lading holds, submitted at time of booking, shipping instructions, or by contacting your Maersk Customer Experience Representative, please note that the $125 service fee will apply to these transactions.
For detailed instructions on how to submit your changes via Maersk.com, please refer to the steps outlined below.


Our teams are ready to assist you, so please don’t hesitate to contact your local Maersk representative if you have any questions.
