New container regulation

Spain has introduced regulations requiring all freight containers to comply with the 1972 Safe Container Convention. Containers on which the CSC plate is either missing or defective may be detained by the authorities, who will also act against containers which are in a dangerous condition. This means that the container will not be permitted to be loaded on to a ship at any Spanish port. Cargo may be transferred to another container, but the original unit will not be permitted to leave the port until the defects have been remedied. The same applies to containers landed in Spanish ports. Fines may be levied at the discretion of the authorities.
