CONNECTING AUSTRALIA TO THE WORLD

MSC opened its first Australian office in 1989. Today the agency is spread
nationwide, over six states, with our head office based in Fremantle, Western
Australia.  We have built a strong expertise in fields such as agriculture,
dairy, meat, fruits, beverages and other food products, as well as paper
materials, forest products and minerals. Our local presence, together with the
understanding of local needs and our ability to swiftly respond to customer
enquiries, is the key to our success in this region. MSC’s strength in Australia
is also seen in our diverse and reliable services across both sea and land, our
container availability and specialised reefer services.

DETENTION, DEMURRAGE, AND STORAGE IN AUSTRALIA

What is detention?

Detention is interchangeable with Container Hire but also applies when unit is
with Customer due to our Combined Tariff for freetime, not restricted to
Terminal/Depot.

What is demurrage?

Demurrage as Terminal/Depot Storage is not something many Countries offer,
Australia/New Zealand do not although we are asked often. 

What are storage charges?

A storage charge is applicable, after the free time expires, for containers left
inside the rail ramp or container yard (for the use of the land).

Questions about detention, demurrage, or storage charges? 

For further information please contact your local MSC team.

VGM RECEIVING POLICY IN AUSTRALIA

What is VGM?

Verified Gross Mass or VGM refers to the exact, verified weight of a packed
container. For safety reasons, vessel operators can only load a container if its
weight has been verified.
In line with SOLAS (Safety of Lives at Sea) regulations, all marine terminals
are now allowed to use their certified scales to record Verified Gross Mass
(VGM) of shipments.

Government approval status

You must include the following on all VGM instructions:

 * National body in Australia is AMSA (Australian Maritime Safety Authority).
 * 50 penalty units (180AUD per unit) assigned to first offence.
 * All verified weighing equipment within Australia must be certified by the
   National Measurement Institute (NMI).
 * All container terminals have announced across the board that no container
   will be gated in without certified VGM.

What to include in your VGM instructions?

The following items are mandatory and must be on all VGM instructions:

 * Booking number
 * Container number
 * Weight Calculation Method
 * Verified Gross Mass
 * Verification Date
 * Name of Declarant
 * Company
 * Either Phone or Email Address

How can I submit my VGM instructions?

 * VGM instructions are to be included as part of the Pre Receival Advice (PRA)
   submission to terminals, using the FACT website for Adelaide, and using
   1-Stop for all other terminals.
 * Via myMSC.

Deadline for submitting your VGM instructions


VGM must be declared when submitting the PRA, prior to containers being
delivered to the terminal.

Admin fees and costs 

 * No additional administration fees are being introduced to date.
 * Any weighbridge, transport or other cost incurred to determine the VGM is for
   shipper’s account.
 * If shipper presents container at a terminal without having declared the VGM,
   the container will not be accepted, and any associated costs will be to
   shipper’s account.
 * If a VGM is misdeclared, and shipper requests an amendment after the
   container has already been accepted into the terminal, the container will
   need to be withdrawn from the terminal and PRA resubmitted with correct VGM,
   before the container can be returned to the terminal.  All associated costs
   will be to shipper’s account.

Recommendations
 * Determine the weight calculation method that is most suitable for your cargo.
 * Ensure that appropriately trained and authorized personnel are responsible
   for the calculation and submission of the VGM.
 * Ensure that appropriate record keeping is in place.
 * Register for myMSC.com for access to container tare weights if necessary.
 * If any further clarification is required, please contact your local MSC
   office.

CUSTOMS FINES

Customs Fines
Australian Customs do not apply charges for manifest correctors at present.
However, they are currently moving onto the next phase in implementation of
Customs Fines for any late changes to the manifest.

If cargo has arrived, late amendments to manifest may cause 3-day border hold
and additional storage costs.

Misleading or falsified information to Customs will attract a fine of AUD1365.00
per container line. 

Further details available in the Australia Customs Notice.
