DANISH shipping giant Maersk and German carrier Hapag-Lloyd have imposed peak season surcharge of US$3,000 and $1,000 per TEU respectively on containers bound for Nigeria.
The announcements come just three weeks after French shipping line CMA CGM imposed the sum of $900 per TEU as peak season surcharge on cargoes coming through it from China to Nigeria.
Maersk said its new peak season surcharge will apply to all types of containers, including dry, reefer and special containers coming from the Far East to Nigeria effective June 1.
The leading container carrier also applied the surcharge on many other ports in West Africa, reports Nigeria's Ships&Ports.
On its part, Hapag-Lloyd said its $1,000 per TEU surcharge will apply to containers shipped from Asia to both Apapa and Tin Can Island ports as well as other ports in West, East and Southern Africa.
