Where this route gets difficult
6 points to plan for on the Lianyungang → Legazpi route
Loading port first, then the sea leg, then Legazpi and the Philippines market.
- Origin port
A shorter document list at Lianyungang, not a shorter check
Lianyungang MSA's Notice No. 1 of 2024 cut the materials for 'new three' cargo to four on the cargo side: the safe-carriage declaration, the inspector-signed packing certificate, the packaging inspection certificate where packaged, and a power of attorney. Fewer papers means each one carries more weight; the packing certificate still has to be signed by a certified inspector after supervised stuffing.
What Anxin does: We prepare the four cargo-side documents together and check that the packing certificate, the packaging certificate and the declaration describe the same UN numbers and quantities.
- Origin port
Energy storage on break-bulk ships: Lianyungang's own rules
Lianyungang MSA's June 2025 guide for ESS on break-bulk ships treats ESS cabinets as UN3480 and ESS containers as UN3536, recommends a remaining charge of 20–50%, and requires converters and monitoring to be powered off, series and parallel circuits disconnected, packages evenly spread with a low centre of gravity, and a safety meeting before the ship arrives.
What Anxin does: For ESS units we confirm the UN number the unit ships under, get the state of charge and isolation steps in writing from the manufacturer, and join the pre-arrival safety meeting with the stowage details.
- Sea corridor
Typhoon season on the run to Legazpi
The Japan Meteorological Agency counts an average of 25.1 typhoons a year in the western North Pacific, most of them in August and September. On the run to Legazpi a storm can shut the loading port in China or the discharge port for a day or more, and the dangerous goods filings then have to follow the box to its next vessel.
What Anxin does: In typhoon months we check the carrier's DG acceptance for the next two vessels as well, so a rolled container can be refiled quickly rather than rebooked from scratch.
- Import country
CAO 15-2020: advance manifest before the ship reaches Legazpi
Philippine customs want the manifest 24 hours before arrival on short voyages and 48 hours on those over 72 hours, with separate deadlines for consolidators. From Lianyungang, that means the battery details must be final at booking.
What Anxin does: We give the carrier or consolidator the final cargo and DG data before sailing from Lianyungang, so the Philippine manifest is filed complete.
- Import country
Consolidated cargo has its own manifest deadline
CAO 15-2020 gives consolidators a separate deadline: their manifest is due 24 or 12 hours before arrival, depending on the voyage. LCL battery cargo for Legazpi depends on the consolidator having the DG details in time.
What Anxin does: For LCL shipments we pass the DG data to the consolidator at booking, so its manifest is complete before the Philippine cut-off.
- Import country
The importer must be registered and accredited
No import declaration can be lodged unless the importer is registered in the Bureau of Customs' CPRS and accredited. A first-time importer at Legazpi that has not finished this will see its battery container wait, and pay for the waiting.
What Anxin does: At quotation we ask a new importer to confirm its CPRS registration and accreditation before the first container is booked.

Before you book
Send the file once, complete
Most delays on this route start with a document that exists but does not match: a UN number, a model name or a package count that differs between the Lianyungang filings, the carrier booking and the Philippines import file. We check the three against each other before the booking is confirmed.
Carriers we book with
Our booking panel; availability on this lane and acceptance of the declared UN numbers are confirmed for each booking. It does not mean that a listed carrier runs a direct service on this route. Carrier choice depends on the trade lane, cargo classification and each carrier's dangerous-goods acceptance at booking. The final carrier is confirmed on the booking.

It waits or moves to the next vessel. The dangerous goods declaration has to be refiled for that vessel, which is why we check DG acceptance for a back-up sailing in typhoon months.
Its June 2025 break-bulk ESS guide recommends 20–50% remaining charge, with converters and monitoring off and circuits disconnected.
