  • Customs clearance, exemption

    1. TT-Line is not authorized or obliged to declare any goods to the customs authorities (see Art. 139 et seq UCC). The presentation obligation is the sole responsibility of the shipper, who has to take care of it.
    2. TT-Line cannot be charged with opening / terminating customs transit procedures.
    3. The shipper exempts TT-Line internally from any claims of third parties (in particular the customs and tax authorities) in
      connection with customs clearance.

  • Lashing-Points

    Loading units must have a sufficient number of lashing eyes suitable for carriage by sea!

    It is basically ordered by the maritime authority that the captain can decide not to transport loading units without lashing points.

    TT-Line only ships units with lashing points.This also applies to the vehicles without dangerous goods.  It is thus possible to secure the cargo units even in severe weather conditions and to optimize the safety on board.

    Securing points on road vehicles

    Securing points on road vehicles should be designed for securing the road vehicles to the ship and should have an aperture capable of accepting only one lashing. The securing point and aperture should permit varying directions of the lashing to the ship's deck. 

    The same number of not less than two or more than six securing points should be provided on each side of the road vehicle.

    Subject to the provisions of the previous points, the minimum number and thickness of securing points should be as shown in the following table: 

    Grass vehicle mass (GVM) tonnes  Minimum number of securing points on each side of the road vehicle  Minimum strength without permanent deformation of each securing point as fitted 
    (kN) 
    3.5 t ≤ GVM ≤ 20 t 
    20 t < GVM ≤ 30 t 
    30 t < GVM ≤ 40 t     		 2 
    3 
    4     		 GVM X 10 X 1.2
