General information only
Everything published on this website, including Apex Shippers' Guides, the shipping glossary, the Incoterms® summary, the freight calculators, the route planner and the live shipments board, is general information provided for education and convenience. It is not legal, customs, tax, regulatory, insurance, financial or other professional advice, and reading it does not create an adviser–client or any other professional relationship with Apex Ocean Lines.
Follow the latest rules of each authority
Laws, regulations, tariffs, permits and procedures differ between countries, emirates, free zones, ports and authorities, and they change often. Information on this website may not reflect the latest position or apply to your goods, route or circumstances. Before you ship, buy, sell, declare, insure or pay for goods, always check the current requirements published by the competent authority (for example customs, port, licensing, tax, health, environmental or export control authorities, in the UAE or any other country) and, where appropriate, take advice from a qualified professional such as a lawyer, licensed customs broker, tax adviser or insurance broker. Where anything on this website differs from an official source, the official source prevails.
Estimates are not quotations
Distances, transit times, emissions, CBM, chargeable weight, container fit and any other figures produced by our tools are indicative estimates for planning only. Carriers', airlines' and authorities' own measurements, tariffs and schedules apply. Nothing on this website is an offer, a quotation or a guarantee of space, price, schedule or outcome.
Our services
Descriptions of our services are general and not contractual. Any service we provide is governed solely by the written quotation, booking confirmation and terms we issue for that shipment. The live shipments board shows the kinds of cargo and lanes we are handling and is not an offer of space, rates or schedules.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Apex Ocean Lines, its owners, employees and partners accept no liability for any loss, damage, penalty, delay or cost arising from use of, or reliance on, information on this website. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
