Due to the strong demand of containers for European exports (20’, 40’, 40’HC), and consequent need of costly ad hoc inventory repositioning, MSC will implement an Equipment Imbalance Surcharge (EBS) for dry and reefer cargo moving from Northern Europe and ScanBatic to US.

With immediate effect, until further notice, the EBS on reefer container will be charged:

• Export Northern Europe and ScanBaltic to US USD 500

As from 18 February 2021 (gate in date) until further notice, the EBS on dry container will be charged:

• Export Northern Europe to US. USD 200
• Export ScanBaltic to US. USD 300

Any other elements of the price, as indicated in the last EU Price Announcements for the relevant trades published on msc.com, still apply and remain unchanged. Please consult MSC’s website or contact your local agent for any further information.
