Terminal Handling and Security Surcharges in Irish and Other European Ports

We wish to bring to your attention the changes that we are making to the Irish Terminal Handling Charges.

Considering on one hand our notice dated September 1st 2011 re updated Irish THCs, and on the other our customers' wish to see a simplification of our tariffs, the new Terminal Handling Charges will now include OOCL's Security Surcharge. In ports where the terminal operator bills a Terminal Security Charge to the clearing agent, the process will remain unchanged.

Therefore, please note that effective January 1st 2012 the Irish Terminal Handling Charge applicable on all trades (import and export) will be:

EUR 154 per dry container, inclusive of OOCL Security Surcharge 
EUR 214 per reefer container,  inclusive of OOCL Security Surcharge 

The new THCs have been filed with the relevant Regulatory authorities. 

The new tariff structure for the rest of Europe is set out below. This will apply to all shipments unless otherwise agreed in the prevailing Service Contract or Rate Agreement.
