MARSHALLING YARD/LOADING DOCK OPERATIONS & PROCESS

• Exhibitor/contractor vehicles should report to the holding area where they will be issued with an official DECC Loading Dock Pass, subject to payment of the applicable Marshalling fee.  The DECC Move-in/Breakdown Loading Dock Pass must be completed and clearly visible in the front windscreen of the vehicle
• Please note that a marshalling fee will apply to all vehicles payable at the Marshalling Yard as per below tariff (excludes any on-site handling fees)
• If any unloading services are required, such as forklift unloading from truck and delivery to stand, this must be pre-booked and will be subject to the official onsite handling tariff. Please ensure any forklift or onsite handling requests are booked at least 7 working days prior to the date of the requested service;  please contact Onsite Trading and Services below for a confirmation of applicable charges and to arrange a booking. The on-site handling tariff can be downloaded here.
• With regards to re-loading after the event has finished, all stands must be broken down and ready to load before vehicles are permitted to enter the loading dock.  Exhibitors/contractors are asked to inform the marshalling staff in the loading dock that they are ready to load with details of the vehicle.  This will be communicated to the Marshalling Yard and the vehicle will be sent to the loading dock once suitable space is available. All vehicles must wait in the Truck Marshalling Yard until called to the loading dock.
• Under no circumstances can any truck or trailer be left in the loading docks. Once the truck is unloaded, the vehicle must be moved out of the venue. Abandoned vehicles, or those exceeding the unload time period may be towed away from site if they are hindering access to the loading dock.
• It is a condition of entry to all who require access to the Loading docks that vehicles, equipment and personal belongings may be randomly searched by DECC security upon entering and exiting the loading docks
