2026-08-15

The RRI applies to all tariff-based and service contract rates covering cargo within the defined geographic scope. It does not apply to out-of-gauge (OOG) shipments.

Geographic Scope  

The initiative covers exports from the following origin regions:  

  • Türkiye and Greece  

  • Black Sea ports in Ukraine, Georgia, Romania, and Bulgaria  

  • Adriatic ports in Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania  

  • East Mediterranean ports in Lebanon, Malta, and Syria  

  • North African ports in Tunisia, Libya, and Algeria  


Destination coverage includes all U.S. port gateways—namely the East Coast, Gulf Coast, and West Coast—as well as inland destinations served via these maritime gateways.

Applicable Cargo and Surcharge Structure  

The RRI applies uniformly to standard dry, refrigerated, special, and tank containers. The surcharge is assessed per container unit, as follows:  

• USD 250 per 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU)  

• USD 500 per 40-foot container, 40-foot high-cube container, and 45-foot container

All other contractual terms, base freight rates, and ancillary surcharges remain unaffected unless otherwise specified in updated contractual documentation.
