North Atlantic Services (NAS), Shipping Instructions

 

Please review these instructions and guidelines carefully. 

Approved TSP's

Available on this website are the listings of carriers approved to ship cargo under the ISA / North Atlantic Services Service Contract. One list is for carriers approved for the North Atlantic ports serving Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and the UK. The second list is for carriers approved to co-load for countries in the Mediterranean areas, Italy, Spain & Turkey. 

Please be sure to discard your previous listing and use the listings which are currently available on this website.

IMPORTANT

TSP's must be on our approved co-load list and be a member of ISA (International Shippers Association) in order to ship in NAS containers.

If you have cargo for carriers that are not on our approved co-load list, you must receive pre-approval in writing from our office before approving the delivery to the pier.

If NAS does not give pre-approval and a shipment is loaded on a vessel, the origin port agent will be held responsible for any unpaid ocean freight charges.

General Remarks Regarding Less-Than-Full-Container Loads

Please do not load less than 1900 cube in every container. If you have a problem please contact us. Cube requirement is up to your carriers for outer-area ocean freight so please contact them directly for authorization to load short or to load a 20’ container.
Email a copy of each pre-advice OBL with corresponding GBL’s as soon as each container is loaded, complete with total shipment weights and piece breakdowns to North Atlantic Services email:

To: NAS@gosselingroup.eu 
Cc: TimN@govlog.be 

If you are loading a partial shipment, please make sure GBL sent to us reflects weights and pieces for the whole shipment

Contact Us for Any Issues

Call us if you have issues with the steamship companies or any questions related to the shipment of your cargo. If you receive notification of any rolled containers or other delays, please also forward that information to us. If your freight departs from a port other than your own and your freight is in jeopardy of missing the RDD, please request trucking from the steamship company rather than transport by rail or barge.


If you have an RDD issue, please remember to forward by email to OMS cc NAS a foreign flag waiver request for each shipment in jeopardy so that SDDC can be contacted for the approval. If you utilize a Foreign Flag vessel, please forward a copy of the waiver showing the SDDC control number with the rest of your pre-advise documents to OMS cc NAS.
