American Shipper reported that Maersk will begin assessing “out of service” charges of $150 per container and $350 per reefer container in order to cover costs when the containers are returned damaged, the shipping giant has announced. Although the new charge won’t cover repair costs, truckers were offered one assurance: The new charge plus repair costs should be the only ones drayage drivers will be responsible for, according to Maersk.
