Maersk applies Destination Congestion Charge on reefer containers bound for Manila

Maersk has told its customers that it will apply a Destination Congestion Charge (CFD) of US$1000 per container for all Reefer cargo destined for Manila, Philippines. This is because the port of  Manila has been severely impacted by reduced productivity, resulting in limited availability of reefer plugs. CMA CGM made a similar announcement last week.

The fee is valid on reservations as of April 6 (date based on the price calculation date) for non-FMC corridors and from 1 May for FMC corridors.  Maersk said it would accept reefer cargo reservations bound for Manila only on the condition that would not guarantee how the cargo is directed, or be responsible for delays in delivery.
