The EIS will apply to all containers exported from North Europe that will be loaded from March 1st 2020 until further notice. The amount will be as follows, payment following freight:
USD/EUR 25 per TEU for DRY cargo ex Baltic and Russia
USD/EUR 50 per TEU for DRY cargo ex all remaining North European ports (excl. UK)
USD/EUR 150 per container for REEFER cargo ex all North European ports (excl. UK)
