It will also impose a GRI of $750 per TEU for shipments on the East Asia-Mexico/Central America West Coast/South America West Coast trade lane.

Additionally, a rate hike of $500 per TEU will be applied on all cargoes and container types on the East Asia-South America East Coast sling.

The new rates all take effect from June 15.
