Dear Sir or Madam,
Last week, we already informed you about the challenges for the export business caused by various “Blank Sailings” from the Far East to Europe. At present, the empty equipment situation continues to worsen.
The first steamship lines have reacted to this situation and implemented or already announced an “EQUIPMENT IMBALANCE SURCHARGE” for shipments from Europe. The tense empty container situation is expected to affect all trade lanes from Europe.
We would like to inform you that we cannot avoid charging this surcharge to you - depending on the shipping company used, the trade lanes and the respective introduction date.
MSC and Hamburg Süd have been the first steamship lines so far charging the following surcharges:
HH Süd | from 01.03.20 - USD/EUR 50 per TEU to all Mediterranean ports |
MSC | from 15.03.20 - USD 85,00 per Cont. to North Mediterranean (Greece and Turkey) Black Sea and Adriatic |
We will of course inform you immediately of any further announcements or changes to the surcharges.
Kind regards
NOSTA Sea & Air GmbH
