Easier and smoother veterinary container pickup

APM Terminals Kalundborg, in collaboration with the Port of Kalundborg and Border Control, has introduced a more efficient process for the pickup of veterinary containers.

The new setup means that the container is inspected in advance and ready to be pulled directly from the terminal, without an extra stop at veterinary border inspection.

With this new process, import containers with veterinary cargo are inspected and ready before they are released to the trucking company. Transportation between the inspection area and the container terminal is carried out by APM Terminals.

Veterinary border control is a key factor to ensure animal products from outside EU entering Denmark are safe and meeting the specific import requirements. Since December 2023, APM Terminals Kalundborg and Port of Kalundborg in collaboration with Border Control have established a direct access between APM Terminals and the inspection area of the Border Control.

Saves time, eliminate risks and optimises the inspection process

This new rearrangement of logistics not only saves time for the truck driver, but also ensures that all containers are inspected and thus handled and imported legally according to current regulations.

In addition, the inspection can be done more efficiently and optimised than before, as a container now can be pulled for control as soon as it has arrived at the quay and the documents are in order.
