OFFICIAL NOTICE TO THE SHIPPING PUBLIC
Subject: Revised Cargo Cut-Off Time for Shipments to Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao Commencing Week 8, 2025
Dear Valued Customers,
Please be advised that King Ocean will be implementing an earlier cargo cut-off time for shipments to Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao.
New Cut-Off Time: All cargo loads must be gated in by 9:00 PM on Thursdays for our weekly Friday sailing from Port Everglades, Florida.
This adjustment is necessary to ensure on-time arrivals in Aruba and Curaçao and to enhance overall service reliability. Furthermore, this change aligns with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) regulations, which all ocean carriers must comply with to achieve improved operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
We appreciate your cooperation that will support King Ocean’s commitment to these regulatory requirements. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
King Ocean Services
