Dear Port Agents,

This guidance has been revised to update US contact information and show updated consignment instructions for Mediterranean routing.

Attached are two updated listings of carriers approved to ship cargo under the ISA / North Atlantic Services Service Contract. One list is for carriers approved for the North Atlantic ports serving Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and the UK. The second list is for carriers approved to coload for countries in the Mediterranean areas. NOTE: Just because a carrier is approved in the North Atlantic list does not mean that this carrier is approved by NAS in the Mediterranean.

Please be sure to discard your previous listing and use the listings attached which are effective September 10, 2009. These lists are currently available on the website http://www.nas.gosselingroup.eu/.


IMPORTANT:

TSP's must be on our approved Co-Load List and be a member of ISA (International Shippers Association) in order to ship vanpacks in NAS containers. If you have cargo for carriers that are not on our approved Co-Load List, you must receive pre-approval in writing from our office before approving the delivery to the pier. If NAS does not give pre-approval and a shipment is loaded on a vessel, the origin port agent will be held responsible for any unpaid ocean freight charges.

I. OBL instructions

IMPORTANT: Any container loaded with less than 1900 cft. to any destination must be approved prior to shipping. Report the shipment to NAS including the SCAC, cube and net weight. It will then be determined if the carrier will be subject to a surcharge which must be approved by the carrier in writing (emails will be accepted) prior to shipping.
