Re-direction Procedures and when re-direction is applicable:

A Re-direction application form is to be completed and returned to Cosren.  Once re-direction has been actioned by Cosren a confirmation will be sent back confirming the re-direction.

Should no confirmation be received, the onus is on the client to follow up to ensure that the application was infact received and actioned.

PREPAID RAILAGE – It is the responsibility of the Receiver to ensure that should containers be re-directed, that railage has not been PREPAID at POL by the Shipper before requesting a re-direction as NO railage refund will be entertained should this be prepaid at POL..

The following charges are applicable to Re-directions
