Iata Ceiv li-batt makes it four for Hactl


Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) – Hong Kong’s largest independent handler – has successfully obtained accreditation under Iata’s Ceiv lithium batteries (li-batt) standard. Hactl now holds all four Iata Ceiv accreditations (pharma, fresh, live animals, li-batt).

 

Lithium battery air cargo shipments are becoming ever more commonplace, as more and more devices – ranging from mobile phones and laptops, through e-bikes and scooters to electric vehicles – now incorporate them.

 

Recent e-commerce growth has also led to an increase in the airfreighting of articles containing lithium batteries. With the well-documented risks arising from incorrect packaging and handling of battery shipments, Hactl has been steadily tightening its procedures and improving resources for handling such traffic over recent years.
