Emergency Operation Surcharge Trade From WMED Adriatic NWC And Scanbaltic to USA CANADA And Mexico All Ports
12/20/2023
Due to the increased risk in crossing Red Sea, we have been forced to re-route vessels via Cape of Good Hope. This will affect our operation efficiency, having a direct impact on our costs due to additional vessels needed to maintain the schedule and shortage of equipment.
To maintain our continued level of service, from 20 January 2024 we will implement an Emergency Operation Surcharge (EOS) of 1200 USD / 20’ , 1500 USD / 40’ and 2000 USD for reefer units applicable for all containers to cover additional costs.
We are working to reduce the impact on our schedule integrity.
We thank you for your understanding and patience and we will keep you updated with further developments.
Any other elements of the price, for the relevant trades published on msccargo.cn, still apply and remain unchanged.
