         丹麦马士基公司（MAERSKb .CO）周四晚些时候表示，该公司决定将船只改道驶离苏伊士运河，绕行非洲更长的航程，因此将对来自亚洲的集装箱运输征收额外费用。

        马士基公司是全球最大的航运公司之一，该公司周二表示，由于红海南部和亚丁湾发生多起袭击事件，其船只将避开该地区，转而绕道好望角航行。

        额外支付的费用包括立即征收的转运中断附加费（TDS），以支付与更长航程相关的额外费用，以及从 1 月 1 日起征收的旺季附加费（PSS）。马士基的理由是 "严重的运营中断"。

        马士基表示，从中国到北欧的标准 20 英尺集装箱将面临总计 700 美元的额外费用，其中包括 200 美元的 TDS 和 500 美元的旺季附加费。

        该公司补充说，运往北美东海岸的集装箱每个将被收取 500 美元，包括 200 美元的 TDS 和 300 美元的 PSS。

        马士基还表示，其网络中的其他航线也将受到苏伊士运河中断的影响，将对各种航程征收紧急应急附加费。

        周四，德国赫伯罗特和香港东方海外表示，它们将避开红海，这是在也门胡塞组织袭击船只扰乱全球贸易、促使成立海军特遣部队之后，最新一批航运公司这样做。

Maersk imposes container surcharge due to diversion from Red Sea

Denmark’s Maersk MAERSKb .CO will impose extra charges on container transport from Asia following its decision to re-route ships away from the Suez Canal and take the longer journey around Africa, the company said late on Thursday.

Maersk, one of the world’s largest shipping companies, said on Tuesday that its vessels would avoid the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden due to multiple attacks in the area, sailing instead around the Cape of Good Hope.

The additional payments include an immediate transit disruption surcharge (TDS) to cover extra costs associated with the longer journey as well as a peak season surcharge (PSS) from Jan. 1. Maersk cited “severe operational disruption”.

In total, a standard 20-foot container travelling from China to Northern Europe faces an extra charge of $700, consisting of a $200 TDS and $500 PSS, Maersk said.

Containers bound for the east coast of North America will be charged $500 each, consisting of the $200 TDS payment and a $300 PSS, the company added.

Maersk also said routes in other parts of its network would be affected by the Suez disruption, triggering emergency contingency surcharges on a wide range of journeys.

On Thursday, Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd and Hong Kong’s OOCL said they would avoid the Red Sea, the latest shipping companies to do so after attacks by Yemen’s Houthi group on vessels disrupted global trade, prompting the establishment of a naval task force.
