MOL in January will increase ocean freight rates in two phases for all refrigerated cargo exported from the United States and Canada to Asia, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.
The general rate increase is meant to offset the slide in rates throughout the past year even as operating costs increased, MOL said. “This reefer increase is necessary to ensure that we are able to continue to provide the service levels our customers have come to expect,” said Executive Vice President Tsuyoshi Yoshida.
Effective Jan. 15, the GRI will be $200 per 20-foot reefer container and $250 per 40-foot HC reefer container from the U.S. West Coast and from Mexico through the United States. The GRI will be $240 per 20-foot reefer and $300 per 40-foot HC from intermodal and U.S. East Coast all-water shipments to Asia, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.
Effective Jan. 22, the GRI will be $200 per 20-foot reefer container and $250 per 40-foot HC reefer container from the Canadian West Coast. The GRI will be $240 for 20-foot reefer containers and $300 for 40-foot HC reefer containers from intermodal and Canadian East Coast all-water shipments to Asia, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.
