Transport Information Alert: Carriers Implement Port Congestion Surcharges
In yesterday’s weblog we wrote how shippers feared pre-filed Port Congestion Surcharges (PCS) can be applied by carriers because the ILWU has made a nasty congestion scenario worse with slowdowns and stroll offs.
These fears are actually being realized as many carriers have introduced the implementation of PCS.
All the following carriers have introduced the implementation of PCS:
- Okay-Line
- Evergreen Line
- CMA CGM
- HMM (Hyundai)
- NYK
- Hanjin
The surcharges are usually within the following quantities:
- $800 per 20′ container
- $1,000 per 40′ container
- $1,125 per 40′ HQ container
- $1,266 per 45′ HQ container
