MSC has announced the following base rates (FAK) to all export cargo from Israel to US, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, as from 1 August until further notice.
| Port of loading | Port of discharge | Commodity | Base Rates | |||
| Base rate 20 DV | Delta 20 DV | Base rate 40 DV | Delta 40 DV | |||
| Israel | New York (US) | Freight All Kinds (FAK) | US$3,000 | US$700 | US$3700 | US$1,000 |
| Israel | Montreal (CANADA) | Freight All Kinds (FAK) | US$5,350 | US$700 | US$6350 | US$1,000 |
| Israel | Altamira, Veracruz (MEXICO) | Freight All Kinds (FAK) | US$5,550 | US$700 | US$6550 | US$1,000 |
| Israel | Caucedo (CARIBBEAN) | Freight All Kinds (FAK) | US$3,000 | US$700 | US$3700 | US$1,000 |
MSC said that the above rates are subject to bunker, THC (Terminal Handling Charges), PSS (Peak Season Surcharge) and other local and contingency charges.
Furthermore, due to the ongoing congestion issue in the European ports, and the consequent need for costly ad hoc inventory repositioning, MSC will implement a special equipment surcharge (SEQ) for in gauge cargo from Israel and Europe to US, Canada and Mexico.
Effective from 1 August, the SEQ will be charged US$3,000 per flat rack (FR) and open top (OT) equipment unit.
