SEP 12, 2003 (newstodate): Lufthansa Cargo's announcement of the rates increase from October 1 for its Cool/td products is substantiated by significant hikes in container lease rates.
-The increase of rates for our Cool/td product will be the same across the global marketplace, and reflects the type of container used for the shipment, says Rene Granacher, LH Cargo communications dept.
-We are simply forced to pass on the higher container rental costs to the customers, and the new rates will not generate added profits for us, he says.
The rental fee for MYX containers will rise from 150 to 200 euro per day, while that for the CLD box stays at 350 euro. In contrast, the rental fee for LD3 type cool-container rentals will increase from 300 to 795 euro a day, according to Lufthansa Cargo.
