Hereby please be informed that city name of Ilyichevsk has been changed to
Chornomorsk in compliance with the decree N984-VIII of Ukraine parliament “About
renaming of particular settlements and districts” adopted on 4th of February 2016
In order to comply with this change onwards we will start to use new city name
Chornomorsk in our bookings, Bill of Ladings, websites, etc. So you should use
Chornomorsk in order to find schedules or place bookings through our web channels and
the same will be reflected in our Bill of Ladings.
There is no need for importers to re-issue Bill of Ladings, in a transition period Authorities
accepts documents with old city name as well and there was no reported issue so far.
In case of any questions please do not hesitate to contact your Maersk Line representative.
Rate Changes
In order to continue offering our broad portfolio of services and high level of reliability it will be
