OOCL to add transatlantic reefer surcharge
Liner carrier OOCL said Friday it is implementing a $400-per-container peak season charge on reefer boxes moving from Europe to Montreal on its GEX 1 and 2 transatlantic services.
The increase goes into effect Nov. 12.
'With the onset of the winter peak season for refrigerated cargo, the demand for reefer plugs on westbound sailings from Europe to Montreal exceeds supply,' the carrier said.
