In order to maintain and strengthen the high level of service quality and a comprehensive global liner network for all of our customers, OOCL would like to advise that we will introduce a rate restoration programme. With effect from March 1, 2010, freight rates from North European, Mediterranean and Black Sea ports will be increased by US$100 per TEU to Australia and US$200 per TEU to New Zealand.

Also with effect from March 1, 2010, due to seasonal high volume of cargo movements from North Europe ports, we will apply a Peak Season Surcharge of US$150 per 20’ and US$200/40’ for cargo from North Europe ports to Australia and New Zealand.

For any further information, please kindly contact your local sales representative.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
