Arrival notice is a document issued by Maersk to the import parties (e.g. Consignee, First Notify) 24-96 hrs prior to vessel arrival. This document provides details on the shipment such as vessel/voyage number, party details, cargo/container details, estimated arrival date time at the discharge location and in some cases outstanding charges. This information can be used by the consignee to plan for cargo release i.e. arranging customs clearance, requesting for a delivery order, clearing outstanding charges, and planning haulage.
