Florida/Bahamas carriers to raise bunker fees

   The Florida-Bahamas Shipowners and Operators Association said last week it will raise bunker rates on shipments in mid-April and early May.

   The association, whose members include Crowley and Seaboard Marine, will increase bunker surcharges by $75 per TEU April 17 and an additional $50 per TEU May 8. The increases are applicable to shipments in both directions between Florida and the Bahamas.
