MEMBER lines of the Asia Australia Discussion Agreement (AADA) have increased the bunker surcharge US$125 per TEU and US$250 per FEU for dry and refrigerated containers from Japan, Korea, mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to ports in Australia from April 30. 

This reflects recent increases in the price of oil at Hong Kong and South Korea, the AADA said. Customers requiring further information concerning the bunker surcharge are to contact the member lines.
