Harbour Declaration 
- All hazardous containers with port of loading Antwerp must be in DMAXS with container number in status ACCEPTED or FINALISED prior to arrival at terminal (by truck, train or barge). 

Example:

Agent	Booking/Sub ref	Container	Type	POL	Brossbk	Status
MSC Agency X	213B6543210	MSC1234567	DV/20	Antwerp	False	Finalised
MSC Agency X	213B0123456	MEDU1234567	DV/20	Antwerp	True	Accepted

As per Municipal Council decision of 19 December 2016 under article 4.2.4 (1-5) of the MUNICIPAL PORT POLICE REGULATIONS all dangerous and/or contaminating goods (meaning hazardous cargo) have to be declared to the port authorities. The declaration must reach the Harbourmaster's Office no later than 24 hours before the scheduled handling time. Declaration has to be done electronically. 

After a period of grace all violations will now be penalized by Harbormaster's office with a fine per container. 
Since all violations will be penalized by Harbormaster's office, we will have to charge 250 EUR for every non-conformity with these instructions. 

In Antwerp we retrieve all information from DMAXS. In order to submit the declaration we need the units with container number in status ACCEPTED or FINALISED in DMAXS. 
Only when ACCEPTED or FINALISED with container number we have all crucial information available to successfully submit our declaration. 

This all is only applicable when MSC Belgium has to perform declaration - instead of the forwarder/client. 

In short: All hazardous containers must have container number in status ACCEPTED or FINALISED status in DMAXS 

Charge 250 EUR for non-conformity 

Only applicable if MSC Belgium performs declaration 

Please note cut-offs can be found on our e-business platform www.mymsc.com or at www.msc.com.
