Dear Sir or Madam,

We kindly inform you that the new date for the implementation of the obligation to notify empty containers at the Baltic Hub terminal has been set for November 8, 2025.

At the same time, we would like to inform you that after the implementation of the obligation to notify empty containers, we will monitor the utilization of slots and check their availability in order to effectively respond to market needs.

This topic will be discussed during regular quarterly meetings of the working group for cooperation with BHCT.

From November 8, 2025, the entry of a vehicle delivering or picking up empty containers will require prior notification in the e.Brama system.

The inclusion of empty containers in the e.Brama system will allow for better forecasting of the number of vehicles and will improve the organization of work at the Baltic Hub terminal, which will translate into greater efficiency in the handling of trucks.

Until now, operations with empty containers were not subject to notification, which resulted in their unplanned and uncontrolled arrival at the terminal.

• What will the process for transactions with empty containers alone look like?

The e.Brama system will provide a separate pool of slots (“EMPTY”) for the notification of vehicles handling only empty containers.

• How will mixed transactions be handled?

In the case of mixed transactions (i.e., unloading an empty container and loading a full one), the system will automatically provide a standard pool of slots (“STANDARD”).

What is the role of the shipowner in this process?

RETURNING empty containers will require the shipowner to make a notification in the Navis system. The shipowner will choose between the following two options:

Notification by container number, where all container data will be filled in by the shipowner (as in the case of an export container)

or

Notification by ERO number, where the shipowner will create a reference order number based solely on the type/size of the container. Details such as the container number or ISO type will be assigned by the OCR system and confirmed by the driver at the first self-service kiosk.

PICKING UP empty containers will require the shipowner to make a notification in the Navis system, i.e., as before, to create an EDO or Booking. After the shipowner has created the notification in the Navis system, it will be possible for the driver/carrier to make a notification in the e.Brama system.

• Notification process instructions:

A detailed description of the notification process is presented in an instructional video and in training materials available to all users.
