French strikes affect Maersk’s operations

Maersk says that France’s ongoing nationwide strikes affect its ocean and inland services, saying that there are significant disruptions to its network in the South of France in particular.

“Recent attempts at arbitration and mitigating the situation have been unsuccessful and we, therefore, expect further delays and disruptions,” said the Danish giant.

Maersk is making a structural change and securing alternative routings, offering the following options:

Import

  • Release the containers in Genoa or Barcelona to further delivery at customer’s discretion (B/L termination). This is the default option
  • Reload containers from impacted vessels to feeders for further delivery to Fos-Sur-Mer

Export

  • Load containers on feeders from Fos-Sur-Mer for further connection in other ports

Maersk is introducing a Congestion Surcharge in Fos-Sur-Mer as follows:

Export Cargo (CFO): The applicable tariffs will be US$125/250/250 (€120/240/240) for 20’/40’/45’ (dry and reefer). The surcharge will be effective 24 January 2020 for non-regulated corridors and 15 February 2020 for Regulated corridors. Effective date is based on Price Calculation Date.

Import Cargo (CFD): The applicable tariffs will be US$300 / 600 / 600 (€290 / 580 / 580) for 20’/40’/45’ (dry and reefer). The surcharge will be effective 24 January 2020 for non-regulated corridors and 15 February 2020 for regulated corridors. The effective date is based on the discharge date.
