Atlantic Container Line said it will raise rates on east- and westbound trans-Atlantic cargo, effective April 1.
The increases, which are the same for cargo moving in both directions, are $250 per 20-foot container and $400 per 40-footer.
The move continues a trend in multiple trade lanes after carriers reduced capacity amid the global trade downturn. Several carriers, including Evergreen Line, OOCL, NYK Line and Mediterranean Shipping, have raised trans-Atlantic rates in recent months.
