Effective 11th May – Changes to the required number of digits for Vin/ Chassis numbers when make bookings on the Grimaldi services

Published on: 6 May 2020

Dear Customer.

Please be aware that from Monday 11th May, all RORO units loaded from or Transiting Antwerp will require at the time of booking the full Vin Number (minimum 17 digits) for the unit(s) being shipped.

Units where the VIN is shorter or a Serial number exists will be accepted, but they will be checked and any units found to have a different or a full 17 digit Vin will be subject to Customs fines and potential delays in loading on the vessels.

Many WAF countries already require for local regulations or ECTN purposes the full Vin number on paperwork, but it is essential that you have the details available at the time of booking, as we will not be able to process you booking without this information.

Those parties making use of on-line booking modules need to ensure that the Vin is correctly inserted at the time of entry into your on-line portal.

If you have any questions then please call your local Grimaldi contact.
