MEMBER lines of the Asia Australia Discussion Agreement (AADA) have reduced the bunker surcharge again for shipments from Japan, Korea, mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to Australia to US$150 per TEU and $300 per FEU February 13 in accordance with the established review procedures.

This reduction follows another reduction to US$200 per TEU and $400 per FEU implemented last October 24, again owing to the decrease in the price of oil.
