Tropical Shipping Announces Late Gate Surcharge Increase for Full Container Load Shipments between Canada and All Ports Effective January 5, 2025

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, effective January 5, 2025, the following Late Gate Surcharge Increase will apply when the shipper requests to return a container after the established cargo cut off at the Port of Halifax.
