ZIM slaps PSS on Asia-transpacific trade
ZIM will implement a Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) of US$600 per FEU – and proportionate levels for other equipment sizes, on all eastbound cargo – on the Asia-US trade from June 10.
The PSS is required to cover extraordinary seasonal costs associated with anticipated cargo surges, as announced by the TSA, and in order to maintain our current levels of service and reliability, said ZIM.
ZIM will also impose a PSS on the Asia- Canada trade, effective June 15, on all eastbound cargo as follows: $480 per TEU, $600 per FEU, $675.00 per 40ft HC container, and $760 per 45ft container.
