Book Freight

To ensure safe delivery of your goods, please see our freight requirements are met. All freight needs to be at the relevant port by 12 noon two days prior to departure.

  • Please ensure that all freight is suitable for sea transport and meets the following requirements:

    1. Clearly display the receiver's name on all freight. If different from the freight payer, include this information, along with an email address and contact number.

    2. Ensure that all freight is clearly labeled with the temperature requirement (frozen or chilled) if necessary.

    3. Package freight securely and, if on a pallet, make it forklift-compatible.

    4. Clean all vehicles and machinery to Biosecurity standards; otherwise, they will be refused.

    5. Declare dangerous goods with the correct Maritime Transport Form – IMO Dangerous Goods Declaration.

    6. Pre-book all bulk frozen freight using the booking form or by contacting the shipping depot.

    7. All goods are transported at the owner's risk. This means that CISL will not provide compensation for any lost or damaged goods unless it is proven that CISL intentionally caused the loss or damage.

      Any claims must be submitted in writing and received within 7 days of receiving the freight.

Biosecurity

SPS Biota supports the Chatham Islands Council (CIC), and Environment Canterbury with the Chatham Islands border biosecurity (operating under the Biosecurity Act and CIC Pest Management Plan).

The goal of the border biosecurity programme is to maintain the pest free status of the Chatham Islands and facilitate the safe movement of people, freight, and equipment.

 Anything shipped or transported could provide a pathway for pests (such as weed species, insects, marine pests & diseases) to arrive on the Chatham Islands. In fact, some high-risk pathways like soil are prohibited.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact SPS Biota on 0800 246 821 or email chathams@spsbiota.co.nz.

More information can be found on our website.
