Red Sea Situation: Surcharges Announced

As reported earlier in the week, the risk factors in the Red Sea have led to ocean carriers re-routing vessels via the Cape of Good Hope, adding additional days of transit and additional costs. Surcharges are being announced by the carriers and some of these are including cargo that is outside the Red Sea area. Please see attached link to the MSC announcement that extends a significant surcharge and includes the West Med, Adriatic, NWC (Northwest Continent and Scanbaltic area) to USA, Canada, and Mexico ports.  

We will keep you updated as this situation develops and as always, please contact WSSA should you have any questions.
