Indonesian ports CHC may go up by 12% instead
Indonesia's Transportation Ministry is considering raising the container handling charge (CHC) for shipping companies by 12% to $93 per container from $83 previously, local reports port operator Pelindo II had previously been reported as mulling a 10% increase in CHC to $91.30 per box.

"The CHC increase will be $10 per box to $93, from the previous $83,” the ministry’s director general for sea transportation, Bobby Mamahit, was quoted as saying although he added that the rate hike was still under consideration. He noted that the government was considering the move as prices had not risen since 2008.
 
He clarified however that the increase would go along with service improvements at ports.
