MSC will impose $60 per twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) for standard containers, and $90 per TEU for reefer containers on the Europe to southern Africa route.
On the North West Continent/Canary Islands route, the surcharge will be 25 euros per TEU for standard containers and 35 euros per TEU for reefer containers.
