COSCO TIGHTENS AGENTS’ PROCEDURES

COSCO TIGHTENS AGENTS’ PROCEDURES

    COSCO Container Lines, the container shipping arm of the China Ocean Shipping Co. group, has issued new cargo delivery and claims handling procedures to its agents.
    Saying that "accidents and problems still occur" in its daily operations in relation to cargo delivery and documentation, COSCO urged its agents around the world to "strictly act in accordance with (set) procedures."
The procedures on cargo delivery spell out checks to establish that a bill of lading is original and conditions to be met before releasing cargo to a consignee.
