On March 11, Hapag-Lloyd stated on its official website that the congestion at Chinese ports has eased, berth operations have improved, and the terminal has returned to normal working conditions.
The availability of reefer plugs has also been improved, so there is no longer a need to move goods on a large scale.
In light of these developments, Hapag-Lloyd will immediately cancel the Reefer Adjustment Surcharge (RAS) for all refrigerated cargo destined for ports in mainland China.
There is no need to pay the reefer surcharge! But Hapag-Lloyd issued an official announcement saying:
Starting from April 1, 2020, any cancellation of booking within 7 days (including 7 days) before the expected departure will be charged an additional fee of 300 RMB or 300 HKD per ticket!
This charge applies to all goods exported from Mainland China and Hong Kong!
Official Website Notice
It is understood that in 2017, companies such as Maersk, CMA CGM and Hapag-Lloyd had charged similar fees for specific route markets.
At that time, Maersk's official website issued a notice. From now on (April 10, 2017), Maersk will charge cancellation fees (lost fees) for North European exports to the Middle East, Red Sea and IPBS regions (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka). ), The charge standard is 125 euros per counter, and the settlement fee in currencies other than euros is 135 US dollars per counter.
CMA CGM subsequently announced a "cancellation booking fee" of $ 150 / TEU for cargo from Northern Europe to the Red Sea, Middle East, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Soon after, Hapag-Lloyd will charge a "cancellation booking fee" for goods exported from Singapore to India starting June 9, 2017. Hapag-Lloyd stated in a customer announcement that cancellations made 3 days or less before sailing will be charged a "cancellation booking fee" of $ 60 per order.
This cost has been firmly resisted by shippers.
At that time, a supply chain supervisor at a large British importer stated that he would remain neutral on charging "cancellation of booking fees". "On the one hand, it would be advantageous for us to prevent high cancellation rates for cabin bookings and leave more room for legal bookings. On the other hand, we have always opposed shipping companies to charge new fees. "
In addition, the cargo owner stated that he fully agreed with the shipping company's "cancellation of booking fees" and believed that it would help regulate the industry's behavior. More accurate bookings would enable cargo owners and shipping companies to better control the entire process.

However, some shippers have objected, "If the shipping company compulsorily collects these fees, then we also have the right to claim compensation for the shipping company's breach of contract."
