The reason for MSC's announcement of increasing EOS on transatlantic routes is mainly due to significant changes to the transatlantic shipping network in 2025, which are expected to cause operational disruptions in the first months of next year.In response to this challenge, MSC has decided to adjust its surcharge policy.
Time of adjustment: The new EOS fee will be effective from January 18, 2025 and will remain in force until further notice.
Routes involved: This adjustment involves transatlantic routes from Northern Europe to the United States, Bahamas and Puerto Rico.
Adjustment range
MSC has set different EOS fee standards for different types of containers. The specific adjustment ranges are as follows:
20-foot dry cargo box (20 DV): EOS The fee was increased from $500 to $1300.
40-foot high box (40 DV-HC): EOS fee increased from $1,000 to $2,000.
40ft Cooler/Specialty Box (40 HR/SEQ): EOS The fee was raised from $1,000 to $2,500.
Impact and reaction
Industry shock: As a global shipping giant, MSC's decision to adjust surcharges has had a considerable impact on the entire industry. As a result, many customers may re-examine their partnership with MSC and even seek alternatives to other shipping companies.
Market uncertainty: This adjustment has triggered market discussions on the rationality of shipping companies' charges and increased uncertainty in the global shipping market.
Customer affordability: MSC's practice of passing on the cost of "internal adjustment" to customers directly challenges customers' trust in the reasonableness of shipping companies' charges. In the long run, this may affect the partnership between MSC and customers.
