Maersk to boost intra-Asia rates
Maersk Line has announced a rate increase on services from North East and South East Asia - South Korea, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Philippines - to New Zealand.
The increase, effective July 15, is US$250 per TEU and applies to all cargo and commodities, including reefers and special equipment.
Furthermore, Maersk has announced that it will implement a programme to change its longstanding chassis fleet business model in the US.
Under the new business model, Maersk Line will offer their chassis for use throughout the US to draymen, ocean carriers, marine terminals and railroads.
This model allows the industry to fundamentally change its carbon footprint. When implemented nationally, the carbon dioxide reductions are estimated to be over 4,000 tonnes.
Maersk Equipment Services Corporation (MESC), a maintenance and repair management group, has been providing chassis to Maersk Line.
The new business model continues MESC and Maersk's commitments to environmental performance and overall efficiency while improving safety and reliability.
