A number of container lines operating between the U.S. and Asia say they intend to implement congestion charges of up to USD 1,000 per 40-foot container (FEU) for cargo moving via U.S. West Coast ports, effective November 17, 2014, in response to labor-related terminal delays, TSA said in a release.

Earlier this year, shipping lines individually published congestion charges specifically to cover labor-related service disruptions.

“Beginning November 17, carriers will assess and collect their respective charges on an individual basis for eastbound and westbound cargo,” the release reads.
