We would like to inform you about the latest updates regarding UK Government's position on border controls for certain commodities deemed to present a medium to high risk to the UK. These checks will be implemented at UK ports, including those operated by ABP, such as the P&O Ferries terminal in Hull.
New Charges Effective from 15th June 2024: At the Hull Terminal, all import laden units will incur a charge of £12.79 per unit. This BCP charge will be collected via MCP (Destin8) if you or your agent are a Destin8 badge holder. Alternatively, Motis Freeflow can assist with this service, or it can be managed via P&O Ferries. P&O will charge for all laden GVMS shipments. All charges invoiced by P&O to Motis will be passed on to the Motis account holder who made the booking.
What the Fixed Charge Covers:
The fixed sum per import laden unit covers the labour to open the trailer or container, remove cargo for inspection, and re-stow the cargo post inspection.
Additional Charges (if applicable):
- Full Restow (Trailer/Container): Includes labour and consumables - £200
- Hand Ball (Trailer/Container): Includes labour and consumables - £710
- Rework (Per Pallet): Includes labour and consumables - £60
- **P&O Ferries shunt or escort direct charge to and from P&O Hull to BCP Hull - £70
Please note: This is not an exhaustive list, and ABP reserves the right to review on a case-by-case basis.
Action Required: We have sent a circular email with these details, but to ensure all our regular users are informed, we are providing additional communication through this blog post. A list of customers who have used the route in the last 12 months will be sent to you. Please follow up with your customers to inform them about these new charges and the effective date.
Effective Date: The new charge will come into effect from 15th June 2024.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your attention to this important update.
