London, 21st May 2009

NYK announces stage 2 of its structural revenue recovery (SRR) programme.

Further to our letter of 9th March announcing our SRR commencing on 1st April, the freight rates on the Asia – West Mediterranean trade route continue to be commercially unviable.  To ensure we continue to offer you the high quality liner service expected of NYK, we are forced to implement stage 2 of our SRR.  As a result, we plan to increase our rates from 1st June 2009.

 

The rate increase is as follows:-

For westbound cargo from Asia to the West Mediterranean: US$ 250 per TEU

Further details will be communicated to you by your local NYK representative.
