WTSA to increase dry cargo rates from October

Modified

Description
CARRIER members of the Westbound Transpacific Stabilisation Agreement (WTSA) will raise the rates of US$160 per TEU and $200 per FEU for all dry cargo on all trade lanes with effect from October 1, according to a WTSA release.

WTSA said the westbound revenues have shrunk a great deal since the beginning of the year due to the slowdown of demand in Asia.

Its figures showed that the cargo volume of first quarter 2012 was 800,000 FEU, seeing a slight 3.5 per cent increase compared to the same period last year. "More recently, carrier bookings indicate that those volume gains have since narrowed over the summer, and freight rates have followed," said WTSA.

WTSA's membership lost Singapore's APL on September 1. The remaining nine member carriers include Cosco, Evergreen, Hanjin, Hapag-Lloyd, Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM), "K" Line, NYK, OOCL and Yang Ming.
