Maersk Line ups general rate in the Europe to Middle East & South Asia trade

Unsustainable rates and continued improved demand lead to rate increases effective 1 May 2009. Rate increases are necessary to continue to operate our services with the high level of reliability our customers have come to expect from Maersk Line. ??The filed increases are as follows on eastbound services from Northern Europe, North Africa and Mediterranean to the Middle East and South Asia:
    USD 100 per 20’ dry container
    USD 200 per 40’ dry container
The increase applies equally to all cargo and commodities, excluding reefers.
