FROM NORTH ATLANTIC SERVICES NV BELGIUM
TO: NORTH EUROPE, MED AND U.S PORT AGENTS
May 2014, 20th
SUBJECT: NORTH EUROPE ATLANTIC SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS & APPROVED CO-LOAD LIST DP3 YEAR 7
A: APPROVED CARRIERS (TSP’S) AND SERVICE CONTRACT
We are pleased to send you our updated list of carriers approved to ship military and government
household goods under the TAAFLO / ISA service contract 14NE in the ATLANTIC along with the NAS
shipping instructions for this contract, effective May 29th 2014 and valid till May 28th 2015.
The Atlantic co-load list is for carriers approved for the North Atlantic ports serving Germany, Belgium,
The Netherlands and the UK. The Med list is for carriers approved to co-load for countries in the Mediterranean areas, Italy, Spain and Turkey. If a carrier is approved in the North Atlantic does not automatically mean this carrier is approved by NAS in the Mediterranean. Check the NAS website for updated
information: http://www.nas.gosselingroup.eu/. The Med instructions follow separately.
Carriers must be a member of ISA (International Shippers Association - www.isaship.org) in order to ship
in NAS containers under this service contract Atlantic 14NE. If you have cargo for carriers that are not on
our approved co-load list, or for carriers which are on prepaid status, 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. Please send your request to [email protected] with cc to [email protected]
and [email protected]
Remark - POV’s:
Military and Government POV’s can be shipped under TAAFLO contracts, provided the POV is part of a
household goods shipment.
B.SHIPPING & ROUTING INSTRUCTIONS ATLANTIC
Military household goods must be shipped on US flag vessels where U.S. flag service is available.
Maersk Line and HAPAG LLOYD are the U.S. flag carriers in the North Atlantic and have comparable
weekly services and should be supported evenly as much as possible.
In line with U.S. cargo preference laws, military and government shipments should also be offered to
these carriers in the lanes where there is no U.S. flag service. It is the Transportation Service Providers
responsibility to secure a waiver from SDDC before using a foreign flag vessel.

OCEAN CARRIERS: MAERSK LINE – HAPAG LLOYD – US FLAG CARRIERS
MAERSK LINE: Service name: TA2 (MAERSK)
Port of call: Rotterdam
Place of delivery or place of receipt: Deurne
HAPAG LLOYD: Service name: AX3 ATLANTIC EXPRESS 3 as from May 2014 (FORMER NAME GAX)
Port of call: Antwerp
Place of delivery or place of receipt: Deurne
Note: APL discontinued their service in the Trans-Atlantic lane in May 2014. As most of you know, APL
operated in the Trans-Atlantic lane via a VSA (Vessel Sharing Agreement) with Maersk Lines. This
agreement enabled both companies to buy slots on the other’s services in certain lanes. Unfortunately,
this agreement between APL & Maersk came to an end due to the newly formed ‘P3’ alliance between
MSC, CMA-CGM, and Maersk.

IMPORTANT: Any container loaded with less than 1900 cubic feet to any destination must be approved

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.
*BREMERHAVEN CONSIGNMENTS
General remark regarding shipments to Germany:
Most of the German freight is transiting via Antwerp because it is geographically closer to most areas in
Germany where military bases are located. In other words it is more cost effective versus shipping the
3
freight via Bremerhaven. GOVLOG still has a foot on the ground in Bremerhaven with a local office since
Phoenix Transport was closed on Dec 31, 2008. This is in case a shipment needs to be handled that got
misrouted or ended up there because of consolidation issues but those are the exceptions.
Should a shipment still be routed to Bremerhaven, then please make sure that it's routed and consigned
as follows:

E. HOUSE BILLS OF LADING (ONLY FOR US BOUND CARGO) – ALL CONTRACTS
In order to remain compliant with the US Trade Act of 2002 we must revise all prior bill of lading instructions for containerized shipments of military and US government personal property shipments moving
under ISA - NAS’s ocean contracts. Failure to comply with the following instructions could result in
shipment delays due to customs “do not load” instruction to the ocean carrier at port of loading or delayed release of containers at destination.
Currently, all containerized personal property shipments move under a single Master Bill of Lading.
Effective immediately all military and government personal property shipments must move under both a
Master Bill of Lading and a House Bill of Lading. Both bills of lading will be created by the ocean carrier.
These instructions are only for US bound cargo not for US to Europe.
The following are the responsibilities of the Ocean Carrier, the Origin Agent and the TSP relative to these
new requirements:
4
E1.Origin Agent Responsibility
At time of booking the Origin Agent must advise the ocean carrier that House Bills of Lading will be
needed for each GBL in the container.
Master Bills of Lading should continue to be prepared:
To produce a House Bill of Lading the ocean carrier will need a copy of the GBL. If a GBL is not available
the Origin Agent must provide the Ocean Carrier with the following information:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Service members full name. Initials are not acceptable!
Final destination address for the service member. This will be the GBLOC location
(block 20) on the GBL.
Piece Count
Weight gross and net
SCAC
GBL number
The Origin Agent must ensure that they advise the TPS or the TSPs ISF 10+2 filing agent of the House Bill
of Lading number, which must be included with the ISF 10+2 filing.
E2.Ocean Carrier Responsibility
The ocean carrier will create a House Bill of Lading for each shipment in a container against the Master
Bill of Lading for each container.
The shipper of the cargo is the same on both the Master Bill of Lading and the House Bill of Lading, i.e.
Majority Carrier by Order of North Atlantic Services.
The consignee on the House Bill of Lading will be the service member with their GBLOC address.
The ocean carrier will electronically submit their vessel manifest to US Customs prior to vessel loading.
This will contain both the Master and House Bill of Lading details.
E3.TSP Responsibility
The TSP is responsible to ensure that they file ISF 10+2 data elements for all shipments, either directly or
via their filing agent. The ISF 10+2 filing must contain the House Bill of Lading details. If the initial filing
is done with only the Master Bill of Lading the filing must be updated giving the House Bill of Lading once
it is known. Failure to update the filing with the House Bill of Lading can result in delays to shipments
and, potentially, customs fines.

F. OBL AND GBL COPIES
Please email a copy of each Pre-Advice OBL together with the corresponding GBL’s and weight tickets,
immediately after you have booked and stuffed your containers. Complete with total shipment weights,
pieces and cube breakdown. If you are loading a partial shipment, please make sure GBL sent to us reflects weights and pieces for the whole shipment. If a pre-advice is not received from the origin port
agent and ocean freight charges cannot be collected from the carrier the origin port agent will be held
responsible for unpaid ocean freight charges. Please use the below email addresses for both North Atlantic and any North Atlantic carriers that are shipping with Med Services.
NORTH ATLANTIC SERVICES CARGO
Please scan the documents and send the information to the ocean carriers and
To: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]
G. OBL CORRECTIONS AND VESSEL ROLLOVERS
If you have any OBL corrections or you are notified of any vessel rollovers, please send corrected OBL’s
and pre advices and rollover information to the contact information in section mentioned on previous
page. This is very important to be able to stay on top of freight flow and help ensure RDD’s are met and
carriers are protected with TQAP. Call us if you have issues with the steamship companies or any questions related to the shipment of your cargo. If you receive notification of any rolled containers or other
delays, please also forward that information to us. If your freight departs from a port other than your
own and your freight is in jeopardy of missing the RDD, please request trucking from the steamship
company rather than transport by rail or barge.
H. WEBSITE DOCUMENTS
Military tracking system on GOVLOG website http://194.78.180.99/Login.asp is available to access all
documents related to each GBL. It is possible to retrieve ocean manifests, 1252’s, 30-3’s, etc for shipments related to your customers. Please contact us to for log on and password.
