U.S.A. WEST COAST PORTS

As filed on May 20th, 2014 - MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company will implement a Congestion Surcharge for all cargoes discharged or gated in at U.S.A. West Coast ports on or after November 17th, 2014.

This action is due to the labor-related disruption on the U.S.A. West Coast ports that has caused significant delays at this time, not only with our vessels, but with terminal operations and intermodal processes. For this reason, MSC is absorbing significant costs, obliging us to charge USD 800.00 per 20 ft dv, USD 1000.00 per 40ft dv and USD 1125.00/40 ft high cube in order to recover our losses.
