IMPLEMENTATION OF INLAND PEAK SEASON SURCHARGE. ALGECIRAS HORIZONTAL REEFER TRANSPORTATION.

Due to the increase in activity associated with the citrus season, storage facilities located within the Port of Algeciras are experiencing exceptionally high occupancy levels.

The surcharge will apply to the following operations:

• Direct delivery to warehouses located within the Port of Algeciras.
• Inspection followed by delivery to warehouses located within the Port of Algeciras.
