  • TSA Meets Requests from Hong Kong Shippers
    Transpacific Stabilization Agreement lines have agreed to meet demands from the Hong Kong Shippers' Council (HKSC) to give details of terminal handling charges (THC) and extend the notice period of future rate increases.
    The THC has been under attack from shippers who contend that the charge in Hong Kong exceeds carriers' terminal handling costs. They further alleged that terminal costs have been reduced in recent months, and that TSA lines' THCs be correspondingly reduced. The HKSC requested an across-the-board 30% THC cut and extension of an advance notice period of increases for consultation with the shippers' body.

    TSA carriers agreed that they would consider making shippers known details of how the THC is calculated and extend the notice period from 30 days to 45-60 days to help shippers prepare for rate increases.
  • Another 6,600-TEU Vessel for Maersk

    The new containership has a length of 347 metres, a width of 43 metres and a height of 24 metres from keel to deck. The draft is 14.5 meters fully loaded and the container capacity is approximately 6,600 TEUs.

    After delivery in mid September, the Skagen Maersk will enter Maersk Line's service between Europe and the Far East.
  • EU Threatens Legal Action of US Harbor Tax
    European Commission Vice President Sir Leon Brittan has warned the U.S. government that the European Union would resort to a legal action of the U.S. harbor maintenance tax (HMT) on imports unless the U.S. ceases to collect the tax by January 1, 2000.

    While the HMT, which had been enacted in 1986 to pay for channel and harbor maintenance, was held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on March 31, 1998, the ruling applied only to the tax on exports from the U.S and the tax is still collected on imports.
    In a recent letter to U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky, Mr. Brittan said that this tax would directly and significantly affect the profit and loss account of EC shipping lines, which will be asked to bear a disproportionate burden to finance activities that benefit the entire U.S. economy. He warned that if the HMT continues to be levied on imports after January 1, 2000, the EU intends to initiate World Trade Organization panel action against the tax.
