FEFC doubling St. Petersburg emergency surcharge

FEFC doubling St. Petersburg emergency surcharge Carriers of the Far Eastern Freight Conference said that due to 'worsening situation' at St. Petersburg, the emergency surcharge for the Russian port would be doubled.
   Effective Feb. 15, the surcharge will be:
   * For general purpose containers, $300 per TEU (from $150 per TEU) and $600 per FEU (from $300 per FEU).
   * For reefer containers, $550 per TEU (from $275 per TEU) and $1,100 per FEU (from $550 per FEU).
   The conference first introduced the surcharge in November as the Russian port reached chronic overutilization. In an attempt to remedy the situation, Petrolesport terminal and First Container Terminal implemented a system limiting vessel operators to fixed numbers of containers arriving by ship as well as for storage.
   FEFC member lines are ANL Container Lines, APL, CMA CGM, CSAV Norasia, Egyptian International Shipping Co., Hapag-Lloyd, Hyundai Merchant Marine, 'K' Line, Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Co., MISC Berhad, MOL, NYK, OOCL, Safmarine and Yang Ming.
