Montreal Low Water Surcharge

Dear Valued Customer,

Currently, water levels in the St. Lawerence River are at unusually low levels as a result of less winter snow and less rainfall during the spring.  The latest projections are that water levels will not improve in the coming months.

A Low Water Surcharge will be implemented for all cargo moving via the Port of Montreal with effect from May 26th, 2012 as follows:
  • USD $75 per 20' container
  • USD $150 per 40' container and 45' container

For any further information, please kindly contact your local Sales Representative.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of OOCL.
