1 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 29 th 2014 and valid till May 28 th 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: The Med instructions follow separately. Carriers must be a member of ISA (International Shippers Association - 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 NAS@gosselingroup.eu with cc to Tomf@gosselingroup.eu and Patrickv@gosselingroup.eu 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. 1

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.

In other words it is more cost effective versus shipping the 3

4 freight via Bremerhaven.

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

5 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. 5

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.

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.
