As part of our commitment to the customers and the communities we serve, Tropical Shipping strives to deliver the best competitive transportation value. Due to the increasing cost of non-fuel related operational expenses, our ability to sustain and invest in the service you have come to expect has been impacted.
To continue to provide the highest quality, on-time shipping services, Tropical Shipping will increase the current Detention / Demurrage free time and charges for Foreign Ports effective August 6, 2023, as follows:
