In a bold step towards modernizing global container logistics, Hapag-Lloyd has partnered with PayCargo and Gnosis Freight to launch a next-generation Container Payment Portal (CPP). This groundbreaking initiative is set to redefine efficiency in freight payment processing, shipment tracking, and regulatory compliance across U.S. ports.
Revolutionizing Container Payment & Visibility
The newly launched CPP aims to streamline cargo payments and logistics coordination, offering customers a more seamless experience. The platform integrates automated invoicing, real-time container tracking, and instant payment processing, reducing administrative burdens and speeding up container release times.
Key features include: ✔ Real-time shipment status updates, improving supply chain visibility. ✔ OSRA-compliant invoicing, ensuring full alignment with U.S. maritime regulations. ✔ Instant electronic payments, cutting down costly delays in cargo clearance. ✔ Integrated dispute resolution tools, reducing payment disputes and improving transparency. ✔ Customizable container watchlists, allowing users to monitor and manage shipments effortlessly.
Ensuring Compliance with New FMC Regulations
With recent regulatory changes enforced by the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) concerning demurrage and detention billing, the CPP ensures that Hapag-Lloyd customers remain compliant while improving overall operational efficiency. The system’s automated processes align with the latest requirements, helping customers avoid penalties and maintain seamless cargo flow.
Nationwide Implementation in U.S. Ports
The phased rollout of the CPP throughout 2025 will cover major U.S. ports, including: 📍 Houston
📍 New York/New Jersey
📍 Long Beach & Los Angeles
📍 Savannah
📍 Seattle & Tacoma
📍 Miami, and more…
This strategic deployment ensures a smooth transition for logistics providers, with the system continuously refined based on real-time user feedback.
