TSA Lines Recommend Rate Hikes For October

摘要

Member carriers in the Transpacific Stabilization Agreement (TSA) Westbound section have announced plans to raise freight rates for all commodities and from all U.S. origin points by at least $100 per 40-foot container (FEU) by no later than October 1, 2013. A number of TSA-Westbound lines have already filed individual increases across the board or in key market segments, to take effect during September, and those will go forward as scheduled; other members are looking to an October 1 effective date.
