HONG KONG's Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) has announced that from October 1, a port congestion surcharge will be levied on all shipments originating or destined to the United States in the event of a slowdown or work stoppage at any US port. A port congestion surcharge of US$600 per TEU, and $750 per FEU and $950 per 45-footers will be assessed to all shipments due to labour unrest, including but not limited to strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or slowdowns at any US port, said the OOCL statement.   Asian Shipper News
