P&O Nedlloyd to charge

In order to meet costs incurred to comply with the requirements of the ISPS code, P& O Nedlloyd has announced the introduction of a global ” carrier security charge” of US$6 per container with effect from January 2005. In addition, Origin and Destination Terminal Security Charges will be passed on separately as and when they are applied to P& O Nedlloyd by terminal operators/port authorities.

He was there during many defining moments in his chosen professional sphere.

Until recently, P&O Nedlloyd has resisted the additional costs from terminals, but, says the company, like all other lines, P&O Nedlloyd faces the threat of ships being turned away at ports if the Terminal Security Fee levied by the operator is not paid.
