Evergreen raises Europe/Med rates
   Evergreen said it would raise rates on cargo moving between North Europe and the Mediterranean on Oct 1.
   Rates will be raised from what it calls “base ports” — Le Havre, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Thamesport — to Mediterranean ports by $75 (or 50 euro or '40) for 20-foot containers and $150 (100 euro or 80 British pounds) for 40-foot containers.
   For “out ports” including those in Scandinavia or the Baltic area, the increase is $225 (150 euro or '100) for 20-foot containers and $450 (300 euro or '200) for 40-foot containers.
   The increase applies to all cargo and commodities, including reefers and special equipment.
