DELMAS ADDS U.S./IVORY COAST INSURANCE SURCHARGE
Delmas has introduced an Ivory Coast insurance surcharge for shipments between the United States and the West African country.
The surcharge amounts to $70 per TEU for eastbound shipments to Ivory Coast and $30 per TEU for westbound shipments.
Referring to the civil war in Ivory Coast, Delmas said that hull insurance companies have decided without notice “to significantly increase the insurance premiums for all vessels” calling ports in the African country.
