FEFC implements St. Petersburg surcharge

   The Far Eastern Freight Conference of Europe/Asia shipping lines said it will implement a “winter surcharge” for cargoes to and from the port of St. Petersburg, Russia, from Dec. 1 until March 31.

   The charge, set at $50 per TEU or $2.50 per freight ton, is due to “increasing costs as result of seasonal operational difficulties,” the conference said.
