10月27日起马士基航运征收德班港拥堵附加费

　　
　　物流巴巴获悉，马士基官网发布通知，由于本月10日恶劣的风暴天气造成南非德班港港内设备和起重机受损严重，目前德班港无法处理集装箱，导致码头陷入拥堵。考虑到起重机的维修还需一段时间，预计德班港还会继续面临拥堵。船只的等待时间也将会延长。我们决定从10月27日起征收进出口德班港货物的拥堵附加费。
　　具体如下：
　　征收范围：所有进出口至德班港的货物
　　征收标准：
　　USD 98/20'，
　　USD196/40’(包括干货和冷藏货物）
　　征收时间：10月27日起
　　马士基将随时关注港口的状况，港口恢复正常后，将取消收取该项费用。
　　据了解，10月10日，在南非最大集装箱港口德班港，由于强风暴雨天气影响，包括MSC SUSANNA在内的多艘集装箱船被吹跑后搁浅，一度造成航道堵塞。强风暴天气也造成德班港设备和码头吊岸严重损坏。
　　On the 10th October 2017,a severe storm caused significant disruption to the Durban Port,which has resulted in damaged yard equipment and cranes.Consequently,there is congestion in Durban as the terminal cannot currently handle the volume throughput.Considering the crane repairs will be gradual with some having long term damage,its expected the port will continue to face congestion.
　　Due to above mentioned reasons,vessels must wait longer for a berth and extra transshipments are required which disrupts the weekly services to/from Durban.In order to maintain a weekly service,we must deploy extra vessels with accompanying additional bunker cost to mitigate expected delays and evacuate empty boxes(which cannot be evacuated currently due to port capacity constraints).Therefore,the cost of operating a weekly vessel service to/from Durban has increased significantly and unexpectedly.
　　In order to recover a portion of these incremental costs,we will be introducing an export congestion fee(CFO)and import congestion fee(CFD)applicable to ALL Cargo moving in and out of Durban,effective 27th October for non-FMC corridors and 24th November for FMC corridors.The effective date is determined by the schedule departure date(ETD)of the first water leg at time of booking confirmation.The surcharge will only apply to containers where Durban is the first load port or last discharge port(transhipments excluded).
　　The surcharge amount is detailed as follows:
　　CFO:USD 98/196 per 20’/40’(both DRY and REEF)
　　CFD:USD 98/196 per 20’/40’(both DRY and REEF)
　　We are continuously reviewing the situation in the port and upon return to normal operations we will eliminate the application of this charge.
