Dear Customers,

The surcharges will apply to all southbound shipments for the Americana Line Service between the United States and East Coast South America, effective for Brazil, Argentina, including Trinidad and Guyana.
Low Sulfur Surcharge
Break-bulk / Project Cargo: USD 95.00 W/M (1,000kg/1cbm) for Brazil and Argentina
Break-bulk / Project Cargo: USD 75.00 W/M (1,000kg/1cbm) for Trinidad and Guyana
Note: the above replaces the current Low Sulfur Surcharges
GRI
