Hanjin to hike Peak Season Surcharge on westbound Asia-Europe shipments
Hanjin Shipping has announced today that it will impose peak season surcharge for Asia-Europe trade as of June 1st, 2012, the South Korean company press release said.
According to Hanjin Shipping, this peak season surcharge is inevitable for the company to sustain quality service in the midst of rising operating costs resulting from repositioning containers back to Asia to accommodate increased demand for outbound cargo.
Effective as of June 1, 2012 the changes will be: $350 per TEU and $700 per FEU on all dry, reefer and special shipments from Far East Asia & South East Asia & IPBC & Middle East to North Europe & Mediterranean
