Dear Valued Customer,
Pursuant to our previous announcements on November 17th & 19th 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 U.S via U.S. West Coast ports 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.
The following PCS details will be effective on November 26:
