The Congestion Surcharge of USD 300 per TEU will be introduced with the following validity:

• Import cargo: for vessel arrival on the 14 September and onward
• Export cargo: from blading date 14 September and onward
• For Import cargo from U.S: from cargo possession on 8 October
• For Export cargo to U.S.: from cargo possession on 8 October

MSC is following closely the situation and will inform you as soon as soon as Sydney port operations will return to normal.
