    Following recent events in the Red Sea, steamship lines are diverting vessels via the Cape of Good Hope to protect the safety of crew members, cargo, and the vessel.

    An additional transit time of 2 weeks is currently estimated to result from this diversion. As a result, Steamship Lines have issued announcements of a Contingency Adjustment Charge. Please be advised of the intended NEW Contingency Adjustment Charge for all cargo from North America to Red Sea Destinations and Operational Cost Recovery to Middle East with the following details:

    Trade North America to Middle East:
