A Shenzhen-based electronics shipper booked a 40HQ to Ashdod via a major carrier in January. One week before sailing, the booking was canceled due to insurance coverage changes. The cargo sat in Yantian port for 18 days, incurring $1,200 in demurrage. Eventually rebooked on limited ZIM service at significantly higher rates. Lesson: Direct carrier bookings to Israel are currently subject to higher volatility. Contact us for confirmed space before March 15.
All rates USD, port-to-port, valid for 7 days. Subject to war risk fluctuation and space availability.
