Montreal Low Water Surcharge – From North Europe, the Mediterranean to Canada & Cross-Border

June 27, 2016

 
Dear Customer,

 
The St. Lawrence River water levels have decreased considerably, with latest forecasts by the Canadian Coast Guard predicting further reductions.

 
We therefore would like to inform you that with effect from July 15, 2016 Hapag-Lloyd will implement a Low Water Surcharge for all cargo moving to/via the port of Montreal as follows:

 
St. Lawrence Cont. Service – Route 1 (AT1) and 2 (AT2) – westbound
 USD 125 per 20′ Container
 USD 150 per 40′ Container
Mediterranean Canada Service (MCA-Service) – westbound
 USD 75 per 20′ Container
 USD 100 per 40′ Container

 
Hapag-Lloyd reserves the right to amend these levels on short notice, should water levels decline beyond current forecast levels.
For further information please contact your local Hapag-Lloyd office.
Kind regards,
Hapag-Lloyd AG
