Refrigeration and handling equipment

Refrigeration equipment must arrive one and a half hours before the official time of departure of the ship, to ensure connection and boarding.

It is essential that the connection cable is provided, and that the equipment is in conditions to be connected.

Vehicles requiring handling, engagement or disengagement should be positioned at the predetermined locations for operation; consult the time and location at the port of origin.

The instructions of both the operations personnel and the vessel must be followed to ensure the embarkation of their vehicles.

If you do not follow these instructions, we cannot guarantee the shipment of your vehicles. Likewise, if you have not completed the formalities of disembarkation or show up at the quay, half an hour before the official departure of the vessel, if you have not completed the disembarkation or show up at the quay formalities, Baleària may use the space of your vehicle on the vessel otherwise.

We ask the transporters to be present at the arrival of the ship, in order to REMOVE and BOARD their vehicles, even if they do not travel on the ship.

Access to ships and terminals or areas of operations

Access to Vessels, Terminals, and pre-embarkation, embarkation and disembarkation areas is restricted to persons previously identified in their access controls.

The Port Authority, State Security Forces and Baleària staff can request your identification in these areas.

The personnel acceding them must carry company identification or have a boarding pass.

At all times they will wear their highly visible PPE (Safety Protective Equipment).

They must circulate or access the areas delimited and enabled for this purpose, avoiding staying in the areas of operations.

Special embarkation - Customs clearance

Consult special conditions for the transport of live animals or ADR goods. In case your shipment requires customs clearance, prior to shipment, it is necessary to arrange clearance through a Customs Broker.

The documents must be contributed to us with, at least 24 h of anticipation for its notification and documentation before the authorities and the correct lifting of its merchandise.
