MSC raises U.S. export rates to Asia

   The liner carrier Mediterranean Shipping Co. said Friday it will raise U.S. export rates to the Far East beginning Nov. 1.
   The increases are $100 per 20-foot and $200 per 40-foot dry container, port-to-port, and $150 per 20-foot and $250 per 40-foot dry container for intermodal movements.
   For reefer cargo, the increases are $200 per 20-foot and $300 per 40-foot container for port-to-port or intermodal shipments.
   “In the coming months, in anticipation that seasonal tonnage will traditionally increase and therefore there will be a tightening in terms of equipment in the market, MSC wishes to ensure that its industry clients have sufficient availability,” the line said in a statement.
