APL seeks India/Americas peak surcharge
Liner carrier APL said last week it will assess a peak season surcharge on shipments from India to North America beginning Oct. 15.
The fee, $400 per FEU, is applicable from India to ports in the United States and Canada, not including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
APL will also charge a $200-per-container peak season fee on shipments from India to Cartagena and Barranquilla, in Colombia, effective Oct. 8.
Additionally, a $200-per-container peak season fee from India to ports in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Panama went into effect Sept. 15.
