Maersk waxay ku dari doontaa lacag dheeraad ah baasaboorka Soomaaliya ka yimaada Yurub
Shirkadda dhoofinta ee Maersk waxay sheegtay inay ku dari doonto lacag dheeraad ah oo loo yaqaan 'Peak Season Surcharge' baasaboorka Soomaaliya iyo Tanzania ka yimaada Waqooyiga Yurub iyo Badweynta Casri ah, bilowgii October 7.
Nooca lacagta iyo habka loo xisaabiyo
Maersk waxay ku dari doontaa $200 baasaboorka 20-ta qof ee qorraxda ah, halka $300 loo dari doono baasaboorka 40-ta iyo 45-ta qof ee qorraxda ah ee Soomaaliya iyo Tanzania u socda. Lacagta waxaa la xisaabi doonaa ilaa la sheego inay ka baxdo.
Lacagta waxaa la xisaabi doonaa baasaboorka aan ahayn kuwa SPOT, halka kuwa SPOT ahna aan la xisaabin. Maersk waxay sheegtay inay lacagta ku dari doonto shuruudaha bixinta dhoofinta, iyadoo ku daraysa lacagaha kale ee la xisaabi karo.
Saameynta ku yimaada ganacsatada Soomaaliya
Ganacsatada Soomaaliya waxay ku qasban yihiin inay lacagta $300-ka ah ku wareejiyaan ama ku wareejiyaan xarumaha ganacsiga, iyadoo ku xiran nooca iyo tirada alaabta la dhoofinayo. Ma jiro sabab loo sheegay in la bixiyo lacagtaas, laakiin Maersk waxay sheegtay inay u baahan tahay inay sii waddo adeegyadeeda caalamiga ah.
Lacagta ma ahan taxane ama lacag la xisaabiyo ee dowladda Soomaaliya, balse waa lacag ganacsi oo Maersk ku dari karta lacagta dhoofinta. Tani waxay saameyn ku yeelan kartaa qiimaha alaabta Soomaaliya ka soo degta, gaar ahaan kuwa qiimaha sare leh.
Talooyin iyo xog dheeraad ah
Maersk waxay sidoo kale ku dari doontaa lacag $150 baasaboorka 20-ta qof ee Kenya, halka $200 loo dari doono baasaboorka 40-ta iyo 45-ta qof. Tani waxay ka sarreyso lacagta Soomaaliya, laakiin Maersk ma sheegin sababta ka dambeysa kala duwanaanshaha.
Tallaabooyinka hore ee Maersk waxay ku dari jireen lacag $500 baasaboorka dalka Soomaaliya iyo dalalka kale ee Afrika, iyadoo ku xiran xaaladaha suuqa iyo xad-dhaafka awoodda dhoofinta. Ganacsatada Soomaaliya waxay u baahan yihiin inay ka fiirsadaan saameynta lacagtaas ku yimaada qiimaha alaabta.
Global shipping giant Maersk will add a Peak Season Surcharge to containers moving from Northern Europe and the Mediterranean to Somalia starting October 7, raising costs for importers on the route.
New Fees for Somalia and Tanzania
The Danish carrier will charge $200 for a 20-foot dry container and $300 for 40-foot or 45-foot containers bound for Somalia and Tanzania. The surcharge applies to non-SPOT bookings only, while Maersk's SPOT product remains exempt from the fee.
The charge will remain in place until further notice, according to a Maersk rate announcement published on Monday. Importers may absorb the extra expense or pass some of it further down the supply chain, depending on the type and volume of goods being shipped.
Kenya Charged Less; East Africa Hit Both Ways
Maersk has also announced a Peak Season Surcharge for shipments from Northern Europe and the Mediterranean to Kenya, effective on the same date. The Kenyan rates are $150 for a 20-foot dry container and $200 for a 40-foot or 45-foot container, lower than the Somalia and Tanzania fees.
The latest measure follows another surcharge affecting Somalia in the opposite direction. From September 17, Maersk imposed a $500-per-container Peak Season Surcharge on cargo shipped from several East African countries, including Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Tanzania, to Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland.
What the Surcharge Means for Somali Importers
Maersk did not give a specific reason for introducing the new surcharge on shipments to Somalia and Tanzania, saying the measure was intended to allow it to continue providing its global services. Despite its name, a peak season surcharge does not necessarily mean that imports into Somalia have suddenly risen sharply.
The surcharge is a commercial shipping charge imposed by Maersk on top of its underlying freight rate. Somalia relies heavily on imported goods, making international freight costs an important part of the price of bringing products into the country.
