Transatlantic Trade (Westbound) / Port Congestion Surcharge - Rule 4-T Extension
Local News
December 27, 2012

Dear valued customer,

 

Please note that we wish to clarify the  application of the WB PCS rule to cover all US destinations via Canada and Mexico.  PCS will apply to all US FND’s via Canada/Mexico for bookings made on/after December 27th.  The level to be assessed will be the same as per US ports, namely:-

 

$ 800 per 20’ container

$ 1000 per 40’ container

$ 1265 per 45’ container

 

In the event that no labour unrest occurs, PCS will not be applicable.  Further, once congestion has occurred, then it will continue to be assessed until such a time as OOCL provides notice that the impact of the congestion on its operations has ended.  As per PCS via US ports, we will apply this surcharge on a collect basis.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact your local sales representative should you require any additional information.

 

Thank you for your continued support
