As a result, our Guam rates will increase by like amounts for full container loads. For less-than-container load (LCL) cargo, our individual Customer rates will be adjusted based on a variety of factors, including the commodity, density, and current costs. These changes will take effect with shipments sailing on or after January 31, 2021. Please contact your current Salesperson to discuss any adjustments to your rate levels with them.

At this time no adjustment will be made to the terminal handling charge (THC) for 2021.

Thank you in advance for your understanding in these matters.
