As from 14th of June 2021, Maersk in Lithaunia will be handling all requests for reuse of containers (=triangulation) through the online portal of Avantida. We will no longer handle requests that are received through the current channels such as email or telephone.
UNAUTHORIZED REUSE!!!
Reuse of CARRIER equipment by the “requesting party” without previous express acceptance by CARRIER will constitute unlawful and unauthorized reuse and will give rise to a penalty/fine of EUR 1000,- ( one thousand) for an unauthorized reuse and to a penalty/fine of EUR 2000,- (two thousand) for off-hire or Reefer equipment, to be charged by CARRIER to the requesting party.
