Taiwan / New Zealand – Rate Restoration

effective August,15,2010

Dear Valued Customers,

The economic situation remains uncertain and freight rates are not covering basic operating or transportation costs. This is unsustainable in the long term.

In order to maintain a viable service level and a comprehensive liner network for our customers, OOCL would like to inform you that we have decided to restore freight rates to a more sustainable level.

With effect from Aug.,15,2010, freight rates for dry and reefer container shipments from Taiwan to New Zealand will be increased by USD250/500 per 20’/40’.  

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions regarding this notice please contact your local OOCL Representative.

Note – dates are based on shipment onboard date.

Yours faithfully,
OOCL (Taiwan) Ltd.
