Maersk raises North America to Middle East, Indian Subcontinent rates
Maersk Line will implement a general rate increase on North America to Middle East and Indian Subcontinent trades from the start of next year.
Effective Jan. 1, the Danish carrier will seek a rate increase of $120 per TEU (dry containers), $160 per FEU (dry and reefer), and $180 per 45-foot high-cube containers on the trades from the United States and Canada to Afghanistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, India, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
The increase will apply to all cargo under Maersk Line independent tariffs and service contracts as agreed with its customers individually.
“The GRI is a direct result of the strong export market growth to the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent and thus a continuous pressure on equipment and space in key export origin locations,” Maersk said Thursday in a statement.
