MOL announces general rate increase on Europe - Southern Africa trade
MOL (Mitsui O.S.K. Line) says it has no choice but to announce a general rate increase (GRI) on its Europe – Southern Africa trade. “We are committed to maintaining high service levels even during these difficult economic times,” says Colin de Souza, MOL General Manager, North South Trade. “However, the cost of maintaining these levels is no longer sustainable at the present freight rates.”
Mr de Souza explains that MOL has already undertaken as many measures as possible to become more efficient and cost-effective within its own organisation. “So, like many of our customers, we know what it is like to face difficult times.
MOL has informed customers that a GRI of US$200 per TEU will apply from the beginning of October on both north and southbound legs.
