The German carrier will implement a General Rate Increase (GRI) of $1000 per container on the following routes:
Far East Main Ports → West Coast South America
Far East Main Ports → Mexico, Central America & Caribbean
Effective Dates:
August 1, 2025 (most regions)
August 22, 2025 (Puerto Rico & U.S. Virgin Islands)
The adjustment will remain until further notice.
