To safeguard the integrity of our services, we stand firm in the non-acceptance of certain container prefixes due to sanctions.
At the time of your booking, please ensure that you do not book any shipment with us where the shipper’s container has any of the banned prefixes. Should such containers with banned prefixes be found on-board vessels owned or operated by ESL, we will take immediate action to discharge said containers at the first available transshipment port or returned to the port of loading. All costs will be on shipper’s account.
