More 7m keo nha cai

CMA CGM has become the latest container carrier to introduce an emergency 7m keo nha cai levy to cope with uncertainty over the cost of bunkers in the run-up to the introduction of the International Maritime Organization’s sulphur cap in January.
The low-sulphur surcharge, effective from December 1, has been calculated using the price difference between high-sulphur 7m keo nha cai and low-sulphur 7m keo nha cai average prices in October.

The move follows similar moves by other major lines in recent weeks.
German carrier Hapag-Lloyd last week introduced its own IMO 2020 Transition Charge to cope with the expected volatility of 7m keo nha cai prices during the changeover period as ships were bunkered with more expensive low-sulphur 7m keo nha cai.
Maersk is also introducing what it describes as an Environmental 7m keo nha cai Fee, effective from December 1, which will apply to all spot business and contracts with validity up to three months.
Maersk has not given specific pricings for its 7m keo nha cai, but its Hamburg Süd subsidiary, which is also introducing the EFF, has listed 7m keo nha cai for the trade lanes it covers.
These show a charge of 6 per teu for dry containers on an Asia-Mediterranean voyage and 4 per teu for a reefer box.
