Please be advise that Sallaum Lines will no longer accept NY Titled Vehicles until further notice.
 
The impasse between the Federal Government and the State of New York is ongoing and we do not know if this impasse will be resolved in days, weeks or months.
 
We suggest you advise your customers not to purchase any NY Titled vehicles if they intend on exporting such vehicles until this impasse is resolved between the Federal Government and the State of New York.
 
We will keep everyone updated and hope this impasse is resolved as soon as possible.

Following our Customer advisory dated Friday 2/7, please be aware that the situation of the NY State DMV information not being accessible by CBP remains to date, unchanged.  As a consequence, CBP is unable to stamp NY State Titles for vehicles.

As a consequence, we would like you to remind the following;

-          In case of NY State title car on CBP hold it must remain on terminal (until hold is lifted)

-          In case of NY State title car stamped by customs, the unit can be exported and loaded on vessel

For containers we still recommend not delivering to the terminal, until resolved, as Shipper is exposed to significant extra costs (storage, digging charges and others). Those costs are out of Grimaldi’s control.

For Roro, while the situation seems to be more under control, please be reminded that any costs related to storage or removal of the car, as a consequence of Titles not stamped, will be for shipper’s account. Those costs are out of Grimaldi’s control.

This is in effect for all US ports of load.

We have reached capacity at our Philadelphia Auto Terminal. Please divert your cargo to South Locus and or AMPORTS for the rest of the Week. The Philadelphia Auto Terminal will re-open on Monday February 17^th.
 
Sorry for any inconvenience, but please HOLD and or divert your cargo to South Locus and or AMPORTS in Baltimore.
 
PS: Grand Duke loads on February 15^th and the Terminal will be cleaned up for normal receiving on Monday February 17^th.
