Labelling of breakbulk cargo

In addition to the Wallenius Wilhelmsen minimum required information following applies:

  1. Port of Loading (POL) in UN LOCODE notation
  2. Identification of the unit:
    • Cargo ID
    • Serial No
    • Case No
  3. Gross weight of a unit in kilograms
  4. Full dimensions (length, width, height) of the unit in metric system

Where applicable, specify the following:

  • Port of Transhipment

The cargo label must be placed on a flat and accessible surface (not on top or bottom sides) so that the label can be easily read and scanned. Cargo labels shall not be adhered to painted surfaces, if avoidable.

If labels are put on packing material made of wood, staples must be used on all four corners of the label to ensure tight fit.

If the manufacturer label is not existent or not matching our requirements, the default Wallenius Wilhelmsen Group label must be applied.
