Maersk, CTSA plan Canada/Asia rate hikes
Maersk Line said this week it will assess a peak season surcharge on shipments from Asia to Canada.
The surcharges, effective from June 15 through Nov. 30, are $320 per 20-foot container, $400 per 40-foot container, $450 per 40-foot high-cube container, and $505 per 45-foot container.
The surcharge is exactly in line with a surcharge announced last week by the 10 member lines of the Canada Transpacific Stabilization Agreement. Maersk is not a CTSA member.
CTSA member lines are APL, COSCO Container Lines, Evergreen, Hapag-Lloyd, Hyundai Merchant Marine, 'K' Line, NYK Line, OOCL, Yang Ming and Zim Integrated Shipping Services.
