  • Origin Range: From all Asian ports
  • Destination Range: To all Mediterranean & North Africa ports
  • Cargo: all cargo
  • Date of application: From 15 November, date of loading in the origin ports, until further notice
  • Amounts: US$300/20′ and US$600/40′ container (for Syria: €300/20′ | €600/40′).

In addition, all cargo loaded in 40’ high cube containers from 16 November originating in Asian ports, including China, Taiwan, South Korea, South East Asia, East Coast of India, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka (but excluding Japan), heading for the African West Coast, East Coast and South Africa, will be subject to a US$200/container surcharge.
