26 Aug 2016 / European Union
Effective from 1 September 2016, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) will require sea carriers calling at European Union ports to file Container Status Messages (CSMs).
The ruling is being introduced in a bid to ensure that paid subsidies are received by the intended industry sector and used correctly. It obliges sea carriers to report the status, content and other information about the sea containers at any time.
CSM compliance guidance for sea carriers can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/anti-fraud/sites/antifraud/files/csm_reporting_compliance_guidance_sea_carriers_en.pdf
