Maersk introduces US$50 per container unstuffing charge at Tema Port March 9, 2021 International shipping line and vessel operator, Maersk, has introduced a new charge termed the “Inland Additional Import Service” payable by Ghanaian importers at the Tema Port. In a letter addressed to Ghanaian importers and sighted by norvanreports, the world’s largest shipping line noted that the “Inland Additional Import Service” with a tariff of $50 per container, is to cover costs incurred by the shipping line in import container transfers from the Tema Port (MPS) to other designated yards by the Ghana Port and Harbour (GPHA) for unstuffing purposes. “After container unstuffing, to move the empty containers back to the port, Maersk has to pay extra costs for this and this new charge is to ensure we recover this associated cost,” stated Maersk in the letter.
