Container storage & clearance charges increased

Changes to sea port charges have been implemented in Qatar, as per the decision of the country's Council of Ministers. 20' containers (clear in approx. 3�7 days, depending on weekend & availability of paperwork): - Time starts from when container arrives in the port yard. - First three days the port storage (including the day it arrived) will be free. - Day 4, 5 & 6, port charges QAR 60 (US$ 16.50) per day. - Daily charge of QAR 120 (US$ 33) from 7th day onwards. 40' containers (clear in approx. 3�7 days, depending on weekend & availability of paperwork) - As above, but from 4th day, prices are double. - Day 4, 5 & 6, port charges QAR 120 (US$ 33.00) per day. - Daily charge of QAR 240 (US$ 66) from 7th day onwards. LCL Shipments/Groupage (clear in approx. 9�14 days, depending on availability of required paperwork) Container consolidator will charge each individual consignment a pro-rated fee equal to the amount of cubic meters divided by the total amount of cubic meters in the container. As clearing an LCL shipment is a longer process than a sole container, the indicative minimum fee is approximately QAR 450 per cubic metre (US$ 100 per cubic metre) on top of the normal LCL charges of US$ 85-120 per cubic metre. Changes have also been made to port fees across the board related to - among others - storage/demurrage of general goods, yard storage, warehousing, and automobiles.
