Tanjung Perak ups container fees

SURABAYA: Traders will soon have to pay more when transporting
goods from the Surabaya seaport with the operator planning to
impose additional fees for each container transported.

Under the new regulation, the traders will have to pay
additional fuel surcharge of Rp 40,000 (US$4) for each container
passing through the seaport for export or import purposes, while
domestic destination containers will be charged an additional Rp
25,000.

PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya, the seaport container traffic
operator at Tanjung Perak seaport, said in its circular that the
fee hike would take effect on October 10. The container traffic
operator raised the service fee on the back of rising price of
fuel. While the price of premium was Rp 1,500 a liter in December
last year, the premium price in August this year rose to Rp 5,480
a liter. -- Antara
