Emergency Surcharge (EMS) – Australia & New Zealand to/from EUROPE

Effective 15th January 2024 - Northbound and Southbound

Due to events in the Red Sea which affect our methods and routes of transportation, vessels to/from Europe will be redirected via Cape of Good Hope for the safety of crew, vessels, and partners.

With effect from 15th January 2024 shipped on board date, OOCL will introduce an Emergency Surcharge (EMS) of USD550/TEU on all dry and reefer cargo until further notice. This will apply to both Northbound and Southbound shipments.

OOCL will continue to monitor the situation closely, with safety and security as our top priority. We will continue to assess the feasibility of various options and will take appropriate measures according to different conditions.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support to OOCL.

Yours faithfully,

OOCL (New Zealand) Ltd.​
