Maersk bans Iranian-owned containers from its vessels
Jul, 08, 2021 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202128
Maersk has announced it will not accept any Iranian-owned containers on its vessels from now on, applying potential fines and penalties in such cases.
“Potential fines and penalties apply to all parties, including you, who facilitate the transit of Iranian-owned containers,” highlighted the Danish carrier, which noted that Iranian containers are identified by, but not limited to, the following prefixes: TDIU, HDXU, IRSU, BANU and FURU.
Additionally, the Copenhagen-based shipping line said it screens containers to ensure compliance with this requirement.
Maersk added that it will not assume any responsibility after the box is taken out of its vessel.
“Further, to the extent that you have caused a Maersk vessel to carry a container with any of the above prefixes and Maersk or any related third party suffers any damage or loss as a result thereof, it will be your responsibility to compensate such loss,” said Maersk in its statement.
Container News has contacted Maersk asking what has caused the company to take such a decision, but there is no response at the time of writing.
