Payments should be made in invoice currency only. Whilst our preferred method of payment is bank transfer, we can accept GBP payments by cheque.

Credit Accounts
If you have credit with us, please be reminded that the period for which credit is agreed is calendar days from the date of vessel departure for export, or the date of vessel arrival for imports,
not from invoice date. Demurrage and / or Detention invoices are due immediately, and do not fall under your credit agreement. Failure to keep within agreed credit terms may result in the account being placed on temporary stop or credit being revoked.
Account on Stop
The decision to place an account on stop is not taken lightly, however we do expect our customers to keep to the agreed terms. In the event an account is not kept up-to-date and goes on stop, we will no longer be able to release export Bills of Lading, or deliver or release import cargo until the account is brought up-to-date.
Please also be advised that any new invoice raised while the account is on stop will fall due for immediate payment, i.e. no credit will be applied to these invoices, and the Due Date will not take account of the usual credit period. Such invoices will have to be paid in addition to any other overdue invoices before the account can be taken off stop.
