Transpacific Trade (Eastbound) – Port Congestion Surcharge (PCS)
Dear Valued Customer,
Pursuant to our previous announcement on November 19 and after our careful reassessment of the various factors contributing to the ongoing port congestion situation along the US West Coast, such as equipment availability issues and the severe impact on productivity from the slowdown at the affected ports, OOCL will be implementing a Port Congestion Surcharge (PCS) on all cargo entering the United States via US West Coast port or Canadian Gateway port based on shipment receipt at origin on or after November 26.
OOCL will continue to assess the congestion situation and the significant cost impact on our operations to determine the duration of this charge.
