Changes to TOTE's Electric Vehicle Shipping Policy

Changes to TOTE's Electric Vehicle Shipping Policy

June 27, 2025

Effective Friday, August 1, 2025, TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico will no longer accept electric vehicles (EV), Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV) or lithium-ion battery powered heavy-duty machinery for shipment.

While we’ve handled these shipments in limited volumes in the past, the increasing complexity and risk to our crew have led us to pause this service indefinitely. This change reflects a reassessment of our safety protocols following multiple documented fire incidents at sea involving EVs and lithium-ion batteries across the shipping industry.

TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico will continue to accept Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles (MHEV) and other electric equipment cargo provided it does not require power during transit.

We appreciate your understanding. Please contact your TOTE Maritime Puerto representative with any questions regarding this change.
