As a carrier undertaking shipment for the commodities listed above, APL’s containers and equipment are exposed to a higher risk of damage. While stringent measures are already in place to mitigate such risks, our containers continue to be subject to significant damages due to the nature of the transported commodities.

As such, we seek your understanding that the charge has to be implemented for APL to continue to deliver the same level of service for such shipments.

At the same time, please continue to ensure the necessary measures are undertaken to mitigate the possible risks during transportation while the containers are under your care.
