Main vehicle batteries:

 All batteries will be disconnected by the port on every main vehicle received in.

Please ensure that shippers know they must not cover the batteries with anything that they load.

For example Mercedes are an issue as they have batteries in the boot, so there can be no loaded items in the boot.

Similar with cars loaded onto truck heads. The wheels are sometimes resting on the cover for the batteries making it almost impossible to get to the

battery.

Stacked / Loaded vehicles batteries:

Please also ensure that batteries for stacked / loaded vehicles are disconnected before delivery to the port , if not done they will be refused shipment.

Batteries must be disconnected for all vehicles for safety on board the vessel during transit at sea.

New cargo will not be disconnected and is the only exception, all other cargo needs disconnection.
