Dear Customers,
With regard to our Newsletter No. 28/2024 of 17/04/2024, we would like to inform you that another terminal operator has introduced a surcharge for booking a loading/unloading slot.
In order to facilitate and speed up container clearance, DP World, the operator of the terminals at the Port of Antwerp, has announced the introduction of a new Spreading Surcharge at the terminals Quay 1700 and Quay 1791 which will be charged in connection with registration of a slot for container pick-up and drop-off.
Based on this announcement, we will be forced to apply this surcharge as well. With effect from 20/05/2024, a surcharge of € 14.00 / box will be invoiced for all shipments to/from the Port of Antwerp handled at Quay 1700 and Quay 1791 terminals, which will be referred to as the Time Slot Surcharge (TSS) in relation to METRANS shipments.

If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service.
