Maersk Line increases import rates from Asia to Central America

Maersk Line increases import rates from Asia to Central America
The Danish shipping company Maersk Line will implement a general increase on rates for imports from Asia to Mexico and Central America from May 15, in order to maintain a sustainable level, the company said.  

Thus, the 20 ft containers will pay a fee of $700 and 40 ft containers will apply a fee of $1,400, both per unit, once they enter the terminal.

Just a month ago, in March, the liner announced an increase of $200 per teu, starting April 15, with the 20 ft container paying $500 while the increase in feu was $400, to $1,000. These increases are part of a tariff adjustment programme that the company implemented since early this year.
