Tropical Shipping plans rate increase for Family Islands

   Tropical Shipping says it will implement a general rate increase for the Family Islands of the Bahamas effective April 16.

   The Caribbean specialist said rising costs have prompted it to increase rates by $50 per 20-foot container, $100 per 40-foot container, $25 per vehicle, $6 per pallet and $5 per barrel.

   The Family Islands include the islands of Exuma, Long Island, Eleuthera, and Little San Salvador.
