What Happens in Including Cargo after Cut-Off Time?

Inclusion of Cargo in Load List after Cut-Off Time is the practice of adding cargo or freight to the list of items scheduled for loading onto a vessel or transportation mode after the specified cut-off time.  

 

Shipping companies and carriers establish cut-off times to efficiently plan and organize cargo loading onto vessels, trucks, or aircraft. These deadlines are determined based on various factors, including vessel schedules, operational efficiency, and port capacity. There are various reasons why cargo might need to be included after the cut-off time. These include late-arriving shipments, urgent orders, emergency deliveries, or unforeseen changes in the production schedule.
