Caribbean carriers to raise rates
Member carriers of the Caribbean Shipowners Association said Tuesday they will seek to raise rates on dry and reefer cargo between U.S. and Caribbean ports in both directions.
The general rate increase is $50 per 20-foot container, $100 per 40-foot container and $113 per container for boxes larger than 40 feet. The increase affects all southbound and northbound services between the United States and Anguilla, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saba, St. Barths, St. Eustatius, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Vincent, Trinidad, Jamaica, Guyana and Suriname. The GRI is effective Feb. 21.
