The six members of the Caribbean Shipowners Association will hike their bunker surcharge on containerized cargo as of Feb. 27, Journal of Commerce reports.
The CSA members said Monday they will increase their surcharges $60 on 20-foot equivalent units, $120 on 40-foot equivalent units, and $135 on containers more than 40-feet long.
