| MSC Portugal - New THC values | 15/11/2008 |
| Dear Customer, with the end of the conferences in the European Union, which has been effective as from the 18th of October this year, it is now possible the establishment of a unique charge related with the THC – Terminal handling Charge, expense, as far as containerized shipments to and from any european port. Until now, THC values were indexed to conference based values, being that is was usual to verify the existence of different THC values for a terminal operation which ended up in being similar, regardless of the service to which same was associated.In this sense, MSC Portugal informs that as from the next 15th of November, a new and unique THC value will be implemented for all export and import shipments at every Portuguese port where MSC operates – Sines and Leixões. This unique charge will replace all the previous THC values charged until that date.The new THC values, which duly proportionally reflect the terminal handling costs will be the following:Dry cargo Eur 150 / per containerReefer cargo Eur 190 / per containerThe above values will be valid until end 2009, regardless of any increase of port costs which may exist until that date.We would like to emphasize though that as far as import sjipments are concerned, the new THC values will be practiced considering the BL date, ie, only for shipments which are effected at origin as from the 15th of November will the new THC values at destination be applied.We believe that with this new policy, the calculation of the total charges related with the freight will become easier and more stable. |
