Hapag-Lloyd is set to get tough with shippers over the misdeclaration of dangerous goods aboard its fleet of containerships.
Effective 15 September 2019, it will impose a penalty of $15,000 per container for mis-declaration of hazardous cargoes prior to shipment.
Hapag-Lloyd, the world’s fifth largest container line, said the move was in “the overall interest of safe operation onboard”.
