Carriers impose 'emergency operation' surcharges on Pakistan cargo
Pakistan trade, hit by Indian port access restrictions, now faces a wave of emergency surcharges from container lines.
The latest moves come from MSC — a hefty $800 per container fee for all Pakistan exports on major westbound routes, which include Europe, the US and Africa markets.
The carrier has also announced an extra $300 per container charge for intra-regional trades, including the Middle East and Indian subcontinent.
