In face of the rising the operational costs due to the increase on "export" demands to the US ports recently, in order to continue our service efficiently...

The empty container positioning costs continue to increase rapidly at the time when we are endeavouring to provide sufficient numbers of empty containers in order to provide you uninterrupted service.

An import-export imbalance has been occuring due to the recent increase in export demands to US ports. As a result of the actions we take to prevent this imbalance from disrupting the service we provide to our customers, our logistics costs are increasing rapidly.

With the ongoing increase in export demand to USA ports, in order to provide you with reliable and continuous service we announce that “PEAK SEASON SURCHARGE (PSS)” will be implemented for all shipments going to the North America ports by starting 1st June 2024 (vessel departure dates will be the start date for application).

Due to the on going increase in export demand, we announce that “EQUIPMENT IMBALANCE SURCHARGE (EIS)” will be applied as EUR 25/TEU for all shipments from all Turkish ports to Barcelona and Fos starting from M/V CINZIA A 0SF6YW1TK (ETA MARPORT 04.04) for France & Spain Service (ASA).

In order to provide you with reliable and continuous service, we will start applying the deferred “GENERAL RATE ADJUSTMENT (GRA)” amounts, we have announced on 22nd December 2023, for all shipments from Turkiye to the USA ports as from March 2024.  The starting vessel for this implement will be M/V  SINE A US63W1TK.

Please kindly be advised that Turkon Line has determined the European Union Emission Surcharge (ETS) tariffs that will be effective January 6th, 2024, as below;

The EU ETS is a cornerstone of the EU's policy to combat climate change and its key tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions cost-effectively. It is the world's first major carbon market and remains the biggest one. It is important to know that the EU ETS is not a sustainable product offered by Turkon.

With the ongoing increase in export demand, in order to provide you with reliable and continuous service we announce that “PEAK SEASON SURCHARGE (PSS)” will be implemented for all shipments going to the USA ports by starting 24th November 2023.

Unfortunately, serious delays and operational problems have been experienced since the beginning of 2023 due to the excessive density in Mersin port.

Due to the recent developments in Israel, additional war surcharges have been applied to all ships calling at Israeli ports.
