PSS Update – Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands – Effective 1 Aug 2024

We wish to advise that due to continued escalations to operating costs resulting from port congestion, equipment imbalance, and increased cargo demand, the current Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) will be increased, effective from 1st August 2024:

Date Origin Region Destination 20ft 40ft
From 1 Jul 24 to 31 Jul 24 North Asia & South East Asia Papua New Guinea & Solomon Islands US$ 500.00 US$ 1000.00
From 1 Aug 2024 US$ 1000.00 US$ 2000.00


The adjusted PSS, which will be applied as a surcharge, will be invoiced to the freight payer for any shipment with a Bill Of Lading date of 1st August 2024 or later.
