Due to ongoing disruptions in commercial shipping across the Red Sea and Transpacific routes, Swire Shipping’s cargo services from Asian hub ports to Europe, the Red Sea region, and the Middle East Indian Subcontinent continue to be impacted.

Swire Shipping relies on strategic feeder partners to extend our network beyond our core service areas. With these feeder operators redeploying their fleet to the Transpacific, rerouting services, and adjusting schedules, the cost of securing capacity on these trade lanes have significantly increased.

In response to these unexpected and unpredictable disruptions, Swire Shipping has implemented an Emergency Export Surcharge (EXS) for affected lanes. With feeder operators continuing to adjust their rates, the applicable Westbound EXS rates will be revised effective 11 August 2025, as outlined in the table below. The EXS will remain chargeable to the freight payer.

Swire Shipping will continue to evaluate the impact of the situation with hope to reduce/withdraw the EXS as soon as operationally feasible; however, please note that it may also increase.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Should you have any questions, please contact your local Swire Shipping representative.
