General customer instruction for shipping of used AFV (both cars, trucks and H&H)

Used AFV´s are divided into 4 categories (different propulsion energy systems) that require different information or instructions on the cargo unit, to allow shipment.

The following information outlines the reqruirements for used AFV's to be accepted:

  1. A diagnostics (OBD) report from the Vehicle Onboard computer must be included by the customer. The OBD report is to show the following systems in the car/vehicle has no errors or issues:
  • High voltage battery system for propulsion of the car/vehicle.
  • The electric wiring system in the car/vehicle.

The OBD report has either to be available inside the unit for verification purposes in POL or sent to the responsible operation department in POL in advance. We accept this OBD report from any authorized workshop.

  1. Pictures showing the unit front and back and sides to view any impact damages and overall standard of the unit.

Regional Cargo Quality are responsible to verify and approve OBD report and pictures, if not delegated to the port responsible.

  1. Verify type of used AFV for specific rules on shipment:
  • BEV:  Loading of used BEV is not accepted onboard Wal Wil Vessel until further notice.
  • PHEV: Allowed to ship with max State of Charge (SOC level) 50%
  • HEV: Nothing additional to the OBD document and pictures, described in point 1 and 2.
  • CGV/LPG: The shipper must confirm that the gas-filling volume is below 25% of the tank capacity.

Internal info on CGV/LPG: There is stowage regulations on the vessels, always inform Region IMDG responsible or stow-planner before confirming booking of this segment.

  1. To allow shipment, the used AFV unit is to be in a general good condition free of impact damage.
  • If customer is in doubt, direct contact with Regional Cargo Quality to be established for judgement. If impact damage is seen when the unit is delivered to the port of export, an evaluation will be done if the units is safe to ship.
