Ocean Network Express (ONE) has implemented a $1,000 per container congestion surcharge for reefer cargoes arriving in Shanghai and Xingang (Tianjin) due to the slow inbound container pick-up activity caused by the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) and the extension of the Lunar New Year holidays. Some Chinese terminals, especially Xingang (Tianjin) and Shanghai are already facing a serious shortage of available reefer plugs, the Singapore-based carrier said.

''In consideration of this situation, ONE may need to adjust the original transportation plan for reefer shipments to the Chinese terminals mentioned above. In such cases, this may result in the discharge of reefer containers at an alternative port without prior notice,'' the company added.

This measure is effective for all reefer cargo arriving into Shanghai and Xingang from February 15, 2020 onwards, and for regulated trades the effective date will be March 14, 2020 until further notice.
