Veracruz cuts tariffs to attract traffic

17 years ago

Veracruz Port Authority has offered a 15% cut in tariffs for container traffic as a reflection of prevailing economic conditions, available until December 31, 2009.

A 5% cut will be given to those shipping lines maintaining 2008 traffic levels, with a further 4.9% given to them if they increase the number of calls. If these are higher than 9.9% over 2008 levels, the discount increases to 15%.
