Sea Star adjusts intermodal charges

Sea Star adjusts intermodal charges    Sea Star Line will adjust its intermodal fuel charge effective September in response to continuing increases in fuel prices.
   Sea Star completed a review of diesel oil prices for a six-week period ending August 7 and the corresponding payments made to intermodal service providers. Based on that review, it plans an increase in the intermodal surcharge.
   The charge varies depending on the location of a shipper throughout the U.S., but in Florida the charges are based on location in one of three zones. For loads moving in the Jacksonville zone, the charge will increase from $31 to $40. For the Port Everglades zone, the charge will increase from $41 to $45. For the rest of Florida, the intermodal charge will increase from $105 to $110.
