MEDITERRANEAN Shipping Co (MSC) is charging its customers extra to deliver their cargo that was
aboard the Maersk Honam when it was devastated by a fire two months ago.
The Maersk Honam, which caught fire
while heading to Suez from Singapore, has finally been able to berth
after being at anchorage in Jebel Ali since April 23 while hotspots on
the vessel were being extinguished, reported Colchester's Seatrade
Maritime News.
Maersk Line 2M alliance partner MSC is asking customers with undamaged
containers on board the vessel to pay an additional US$750 per TEU and
$1,250 per FEU for transshipment and storage.
"In consideration of the important geographical deviation provoked by
the salvage operations and of the consecutive extra handling/storage
costs that will accrue at port of refuge, MSC will unfortunately not be
in position to carry your cargo to destination without collecting
additional charges, the company informed customers in a circular.
