Container carrier to effect ‘interim fuel participation’ fee of $200 per TEU, effective April 16
Hapag-Lloyd will impose an “interim fuel participation” surcharge on Europe-Asia trade lanes to cover rising bunker costs.
The proposed surcharge, starting April 16, will be $200 per 20-foot equivalent unit.
The German ocean carrier said the surcharge would apply to both dry and refrigerated cargo moving from North Europe and the Mediterranean to ports in East Asia, including Japan.
