FEFC - Emergency Port Congestion Surcharge - France
wef 15th June 2008
FEFC Lines have been monitoring the situation at both Atlantic and Mediterranean French ports and are very concerned at the increasing congestion experienced due to ongoing labour disputes and the consequent disruption to normal port operations. Lines are no longer able to bear the entire cost of serving the French market and it is therefore their intention to implement an Emergency Port Congestion Surcharge at the ports of Le Havre and Fos of US$ 250 per TEU with B/L date on or after the 15th of June. This will apply to both eastbound and westbound cargo.
The situation at French ports will be kept under review and the Surcharge will be adjusted accordingly.
