Without the full and proper documentation, the shipping company will not be able to issue your travel documents. Please take all completed forms with you on board. You are traveling on a modern container ship. Please note that with this type of travel the cargo always has priority. For this reason, deadlines and port sequence are not always adhered to. Although a cargo ship operates according to a fixed schedule, there can be deviations. We therefore urge you to plan your transfers, i.e. your arrival or onward journey to or from the port of embarkation or disembarkation, as late and as flexible as possible, and to take this into account when booking the corresponding tickets. Up to 3 days postponement/delay per week of travel is acceptable. In rare cases, cancellation of the booked freighter voyage is possible. Charter contracts for cargo ships can be cancelled or changed at short notice depending on the current cargo volume. Early bookings may have to be rebooked or cancelled. The lay time in the ports usually takes about 8-12 hours, but may take up to 2 or 3 days in rare cases. Generally there should be enough time for excursions and sightseeing for going ashore during shore leaves. The captain, the crew or the port agent are certainly happy to give recommendations. On the day of your arrival it will probably be very busy on board as there might be a crew change, caterers and employees of the shipping company and port agents or other authorities are visiting the ship. During this time it could happen, that the captain and officers cannot welcome you, show you around or even answer your questions. But when there is less hectic this will be done. We kindly ask for your understanding! You will see, once you have left the shore a routine on board will appear.
