Customer Advisory : Port Congestion Charge - USWC

Nov-24-2014

Dear Valued Evergreen Customers,
Pursuant to our previous announcement regarding Port Congestion Charge postponement on Nov/19/2014, the ongoing port congestion at the U.S. west coast ports has seriously disrupted our vessel schedules and terminal operations. This has resulted in significant increases of operation costs and financial losses.

Evergreen Line has been exercising best efforts to maintain our high levels of service, schedules and shipside operation. Without foreseeable relief in sight, we are forced to restore the plan of congestion charge collection for all US import shipment via the USWC ports. The effective date and amount is listed here:

Effective Date: Cargo receiving on or after 11/26/2014

Amount:
USD 800 per 20' Container
USD 1,000 per 40' Container
USD 1,125 per 40' High Cube Container
USD 1,266 per 45' High Cube Container

We regret for the inconvenience caused. Should you have any question, please reach out to local Evergreen Line sales representatives for assistance.

Respectfully,
Evergreen Line
