Ocean Rates to Continue Climbing

This General Rate Increase notice should not come as a surprise to any North American Importer.  Another General Rate Increase (GRI) has been filed for all cargo imported from Asia ports of loading, to U.S.A., Canada, and Mexico ports/ramps of discharge.  And, to add insult to injury, importers who will actually pay these increased costs still are not sure their goods will receive priority loading service when their containers are ready to be shipped.

Here are the proposed increases in US Dollars

USD     900 / 20′

USD   1,000 / 40′

USD   1,125 / 40′ HQ

USD   1,125 / 40′ Reefer

USD   1,266 / 45′

USD   1,600 / 53′
