USA/Canada to NZ General Rate Increase

Thursday, 22 October 2009

Please be advised that all the direct carriers off the East & West Coast USA / Canada to NZ have announced a General Rate Increase of US$ 150 per TEU from the 1st of December 2009.

As a result of the container rates going up Mondiale / Brennan have no choice but to increase the LCL rates accordingly ex the USA to NZ. The increase will be US$ 6 per w/m (effective 1st Dec). As you can see this is purely a cost recover exercise.

We are ascertaining what will happen with the Canadian LCL rates level as this went to print and will advise on this shortly.

Please also be aware that a number of the rail contracts for internal rail within the USA have increased without notice from the shipping lines.
