Please be advised that as filed on May 20, 2014, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company will implement a Congestion Surcharge for all cargoes discharged or gated in at USWC ports on or after November 17, 2014. This action is due to the labor related disruption on the U.S. 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 to ourselves, 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. Should you have any additional questions, please contact your local sales or customer service representative. We thank you for your support and comprehension. We look forward to continually serving your transportation needs. SOURCE: MSC
