OOCL will extend its largest rate increases to Asia-Australia services, starting March 15.
The Hong Kong-based line said rates will increase by $300 per 20-foot container units on north and east Asia-Australia services.
The announcement comes after OOCL said it will increase freight rates by $800 per TEU for westbound cargo on Asia-Europe services from March 1. The carrier on Wednesday began a general rate increase of $220 per TEU on westbound trade from India and the Middle East to North Europe.
