12/30/2016:Please find below updates to the following items:Update to General Rate Increase 01/01/17Update to Peak Season SurchargeGeneral Rate Increase Filed 02/01/17Although the space situation on the TPEB lanes is negatively impacted by the approaching Chinese new year we are able to reduce the General Rate Increase levels initially filed to become effective 01/01/17 (date of cargo receipt at origin) as stated below.Chinese New Year will start on 01/27/17 and last until 02/02/17, but as usual factories will close down before and after these dates to allow workers to travel to their hometowns for the festivities. It is therefore expected that a large push to clear inventories will happen between now and mid-January, followed by an even harder push to move everything ready to ship out prior to the closings, which will most likely result in additional increases in rates on 01/15/17 when the next General Rate Increase is going into effect.We recommend to book any freight as early as possible to increase the chance for freight being accepted and shipped, but need to advise that during the next few weeks freight might not be accepted at the usual routings or might be rolled at origin to later sailings because of an expected large influx of cargo.The General Rate Increase for 01/01/17 is being mitigated as follows:General Rate Increase (GRI) Effective 01/01/17 (date of cargo receipt at origin):From: All Asia (includes Far East) and Indian Sub-Continent Ports of Load To: All ports/destinations in the US and Canada USD 540 (from USD 923) per 20′ standard containerUSD 600 (from USD 1025) per 40′ standard containerUSD 675 (from USD 1155) per 40′ high-cube containerUSD 760 (from USD 2198) per 45′ standard containerUSD 12 (from USD 21) w/mThe General Rate Increase will be applied on all dry and refrigerated container rates.Carriers have announced further increases to become effective 02/01/17, we therefore have filed the following General Rate Increase in our tariff today:General Rate Increase (GRI) Effective 02/01/17 (date of cargo receipt at origin):From: Australia/New Zealand, Far East, Indian Sub-Continent, Middle East (Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Kuwait, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, Yemen) To: All destinations in the US and CanadaUSD 480 per 20′ standard containerUSD 600 per 40′ standard containerUSD 675 per 40′ high-cube containerUSD 760 per 45′ standard containerUSD 12 w/mThe General Rate Increase will be applied on all dry and refrigerated container rates.As usual we will adjust the currently scheduled increases based on the market conditions at the time they become effective.
