In addition to the HMM shipping company, Hapag-Lloyd also issued a notice on May 4 stating that due to the lower-than-normal water level of Gatun Lake, severe draft restrictions have been imposed on ships passing through the Panama Canal. As a result, the Panama Canal Surcharge (PCC) will be imposed on all cargo shipped from East Asia to North America from June 1, 2023. Fee details are as follows:

Geographical scope:East Asia to North America

All containers:0 per container

From East Asia:Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines

Hapag-Lloyd said that since the East Coast EC1, EC2 and EC6 ring routes will be affected by this charge, it is recommended to consider the East Coast EC4 and EC5 ring routes and the Asia-USEC AA7 route.
