Tamatave implements ‘port additional’

Effective since June 1, Tamatave Port Authorities have implemented a Port Additional (PAD) of EUR45/TEU and EUR90/FEU on all containers loaded or discharged at the port. It is being applied by all shipping lines.

This charge is linked directly to the freight, according to a notification from MSC. “If freight is prepaid, PAD has to be prepaid. If freight is collect, PAD can be collect.”
