Maersk has announced two operational changes affecting cargo moving through the European Union and exports from Hungary.<\/p>\n

The carrier will introduce a \u201cNo MRN, No Load\u201d policy from 30 September 2026 for cargo subject to EU Import Control System 2 (ICS2) requirements.<\/p>\n

Separately, Maersk has stopped accepting selected Shipper Owned Container (SOC) bookings from Hungary using its inland network.<\/p>\n

Maersk introduces \u2018No MRN, No Load\u2019 policy<\/p>\n

The new policy applies to cargo requiring an ICS2 Entry Summary Declaration when entering or transiting through the European Union.<\/p>\n

A valid Movement Reference Number (MRN) must be received from the EU Customs system before cargo can be confirmed for loading.<\/p>\n

For vessels arriving at the applicable first load port on or after 30 September, cargo without a valid MRN at least 24 hours before vessel arrival will be excluded from the load list.<\/p>\n

The affected cargo may then be rolled to a later vessel.<\/p>\n

Maersk also said rejected customs filings must be corrected and accepted before the cargo can be considered compliant for loading.<\/p>\n

Customers urged to provide accurate shipment data<\/p>\n

Maersk is asking customers to submit complete Shipping Instructions ahead of documentation and customs deadlines.<\/p>\n

This includes a valid six-digit HS code for each cargo item.<\/p>\n

Customers must also provide the required EORI information and clearly identify whether they are a BCO\/direct customer or freight forwarder.<\/p>\n

Where required, buyer, seller and House Bill of Lading party information must also be submitted in a structured format.<\/p>\n

Maersk warned that incomplete or inaccurate information could lead to customs validation failures, rejected filings and shipment delays.<\/p>\n

Maersk restricts SOC exports from Hungary<\/p>\n

In a separate change, Maersk has stopped accepting bookings using Shipper Owned Containers with its inland services from Hungary to destinations worldwide.<\/p>\n

The restriction took effect on 3 September 2026.<\/p>\n

It covers all export inland products originating in Hungary, including rail and RCO combinations, CY Budapest\/Fenyeslitke solutions and Store Door services.<\/p>\n

Maersk said the restriction is due to limited inland network capacity and the need to prioritise the repositioning of its own equipment.<\/p>\n

Customers can still arrange their own transport to the relevant seaport and use Maersk\u2019s ocean-only services, subject to commercial approval and tariff conditions.<\/p>\n

Exceptions to the restriction will require prior approval from Maersk\u2019s Product and Equipment teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maersk Denver Source: Vesselfinder Maersk has announced two operational changes affecting cargo moving through the European Union and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162163,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[224],"tags":[245],"class_list":["post-162162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-maersk","tag-maersk"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/117235923543454062","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
