OOCL announced today (Friday November 6, 2009) that with the onset of the winter peak season for refrigerated (reefer) cargo, the demand for reefer plugs on westbound sailings from Europe to Montreal exceeds supply.

In order to maintain a high level of customer service with a minimum of cargo disruption, we are introducing a Peak Season Reefer Surcharge.

This surcharge will be US$ 400 per reefer container and will apply to all cargo received on or after 12 November 2009.
