Hapag-Lloyd cancels reefer adjustment surcharge in China

German liner operator Hapag-Lloyd has said that with the improvment in conditions in Chinese ports it has decided to cancel the reefer surcharge that imposed at the height of the Covid-19 crisis.

Hapag-Lloyd has reported congestion in Chinese ports has eased, berthing operations have improved and the terminals have resumed to normal working conditions.

The reefer plug availability has also improved so that the German shipping company currently does not have to divert cargoes on a large scale anymore.

In light of these developments, Hapag-Lloyd will cancel the reefer adjustment surcharge (RAS) regarding all reefer cargoes destined for Mainland China ports with immediate effect.

“Minor unforeseen disruptions can still occur,” Hapag-Lloyd added.
