ASIA/MEDITERRANEAN CARRIERS ADD ALGERIAN CONGESTION CHARGE
The Far Eastern Freight Conference has notified shippers of the introduction of a congestion surcharge applicable to the port of Algiers, Algeria.
The Asia/Mediterranean carriers will charge a congestion surcharge of $90 per TEU for dry containers and $120 per TEU for reefer boxes, for cargo destined to or loaded from Algiers, effective May 1.
“Algiers has been congested for some time, resulting in delays and additional costs,” the conference said.
