In addition, MSC will implement an Equipment Imbalance Surcharge (EBS) for dry and reefer cargo moving from Northern Europe and Scandinavia and the Batic to the US, due to the strong demand for containers at European exports, and the consequent need of costly ad hoc inventory repositioning.
The Swiss-based line has announced that with immediate effect, until further notice, the EBS on reefer containers will be charged, as follows:
- Export Northern Europe and Scandinavia and the Baltic to US: US$500
Effective from 18 February (gate in date) until further notice, the EBS on dry containers will be charged:
- Export Northern Europe to the US: US$200
- Export ScanBaltic to the US: US$300[/s2If][s2If !is_user_logged_in()]Please login or register to read the rest of the story[/s2If]
