EOS02 (Emergency Contingency Adjustment Surcharge) Europe, MED and BSEA to USA & Canada increase
As of today, 1st of October 2024 ILA dockworkers are officially on strike.
Affected ports on USEC and USGulf immediately halted container operations and auto shipments.
The impacts of this work stoppage will depend on how long the strike lasts, but operational disruptions are already visible with port missions, cargo diversions to alternative ports implemented by the carrier in the previous days to avoid vessels to be stuck at US ports during the strike.
At the same time port workers in Montreal began a 3-day strike on 30th of September that will aggravate congestion in North America.
This is why we will revise our EOS02 (Emergency Contingency Adjustment Surcharge) as follows:
Ex NEUR 2500USD/20ft _ 3000 USD/40ft _ 3000USD/reefers _ 75 USD/CBM for LCL
Ex MED 2500USD/20ft _ 3000 USD/40ft _ 3000USD/reefers _ 75 USD/CBM for LCL
For all cargo from Europe to USA and Canada applicable from the 1st of November 2024.
