Wan Hai Lines will implement a Rate Restoration (RR) surcharge on its Asia trade lanes, effective April 1, 2026, in response to sustained increases in operational expenditures—primarily driven by elevated fuel costs, extended voyage durations, and heightened security-related expenses arising from the ongoing Middle East situation.
The surcharge will be applied at USD 100 per TEU (20-foot equivalent unit) and USD 200 per FEU (40-foot equivalent unit).
The carrier stated that this measure is intended to safeguard service continuity, uphold contractual service standards, and preserve the reliability and quality of its scheduled liner services across affected routes. Wan Hai further affirmed its commitment to closely monitor evolving market dynamics, geopolitical developments, and cost trends—and to adjust its commercial policies prudently and transparently as warranted.
