As I touched upon late last year, we have been given confirmed container rates from Maersk for the 2018 period.
As we expected, there have been some fairly significant price increases as Maersk global operations has required container stock to reside in ports which do not fit well with where our industry needs them.
And despite our best efforts to keep prices down, we now have no choice but to pass on some of the increase in costs to you.
From March 1st 2018, all invoices issued for containerised vehicle D2D ex Japan will be at the following Port of discharge rates:
- Auckland, Wellington*, Christchurch – $1550
*Wellington arrivals will also have an additional $400 devanning charge in addition to the D2D package price as Centreport no longer allow on-port devanning. - Tauranga, Napier, Nelson, Timaru, Port Chalmers – $1299
These rates are the best we can offer at this time and as such, there will be no discount for volume available.
We trust we can continue to provide you with the best service possible and look forward to your continuing support.
