Maersk Line said it will assess a set of peak season surcharges from Asia to Latin America over the next month.
The line said the $300-per-TEU fee is needed because of a shortage of 20-foot dry containers on the trade.
The start dates for the fee are:
- April 23 from the Far East (excluding Taiwan) to Latin America (excluding Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands)
- May 20 from Taiwan to Latin America (excluding Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina) and from the Far East to Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
