How do you pick up a container you have shipped from port?

Question

I have shipped a container to Constanta, Romania and it will be arriving next week. I can't find anywhere online any information on how you go about collecting your container. What is the procedure in order to release my container?

Answer 1

YOU MUST CONTACT THE FORWARDING AGENTS

Answer 2

I spent 14 years in the business, 5 in steamship
