CSAV to implement restructure as of 1 July, 2014
As part of this reorganization, the operations of CSAV liner services will be transferred to two carriers of the CSAV Group. The majority will fall under Norasia Container Lines Ltd. (NCLL), with the balance going to and the services operating under the Chilean flag, i.e. Andino and Conosur under CSAV Austral SpA (SUAU), today Empresa de Transporte Sudamericana Austral Ltda. The company has stressed that Norasia Container Lines Ltd. (NCLL) and Empresa de Transporte Sudamericana Austral Ltda. (SUAU), are authorized to operate container line services in the markets the company currently serves. Norasia Container Lines’ B/L terms and conditions are consistent with market practices, without any significant changes to CSAV's B/L terms and conditions.
Due to the fact that this is just an internal reorganization for administrative enhancements, both carriers (NCLL & SUAU) will trade under the CSAV name and logo, and use current B/L Terms and Conditions of Norasia Container Lines Ltd. (NCLL). Required set up for e-commerce shipping portals has been executed to read both carriers codes; ie NCLL & SUAU. It is important to mention that Libra Brazil (CLIB) and Libra Uruguay (CPLB) will continue to operate in the same way as today.
The company's local business will remail the same throughout their commercial network. Local sales representatives will contact customers if their contract needs to be amended.
CSAV will start phasing in this new structure effective July 1st of this year, i.e. vessels which voyages start on that date, will be offered under the above mentioned carriers. The details of the vessels that will begin to operate under the new structure in each service are available through our commercial network.
CSAV will continue to receive bookings for CHIW until June 15th; after this date their systems will not allow futher bookings for CHIW and they shall be done under NCLL and SUAU. If you have already booked cargo with the company for any vessels starting their voyages as from July 1st, your local commercial agent will contact you to confirm a booking modification moving from CHIW to NCLL and/or SUAU.
Full information for payment purposes is available through CSAV's commercial network. Should you have concerns or require further information about this reorganization process, please do not hesitate to contact your local sales representative.
