Maersk, Export Congestion Fee in Costa Rica

Considering current ongoing strike in some ports of Costa Rica, which is beyond its control, and the impact on productivity and increased costs, Maersk Line is introducing an Export Congestion Fee (CFD) for ALL Export Cargo from Puerto Moin and Puerto Limon (Costa Rica), effective 29^th September for Non-Regulated corridors and 21^stOctober for Regulated Corridors.

The surcharge amount is detailed as follows:

CF=: USD 200 / 400 for 20’/40’ (both DRY and REEF)

For your reference, we have also included the levels and the rate structure for some sample corridors valid from today until further notice. These charges may be changed in the future and we will notify you accordingly.

• The above rates are also subject to other applicable surcharges, including local charges and contingency charges.
• The above surcharge acronyms mean: OF (Ocean Freight), OHC (Origin Terminal Handling Charge), DHC (Destination Terminal Handling Charge), ERS (Emergency Risk Surcharge), SBF (Standard Bunker Adjustment Factor), LSS (Low Sulphur Surcharge) and PSS (Peak Season Surcharge).
• These rates are unaffected by, and do not affect, any tariff notified, published or filed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
• For trades subject to the US Shipping Act or the China Maritime Regulations, quotations or surcharges that vary from the Maersk Line tariff shall not be binding on Maersk Line unless included in a service contract or service contract amendment that has been filed with the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) or the Shanghai Shipping Exchange, as applicable.
