巴拿马运河过境成本转嫁货主 King Ocean 新附加费10月14日生效 每箱最高涨300美元
班轮公司 King Ocean 宣布，自10月14日起，以一项新的"巴拿马过境附加费"（Panama Crossing Surcharge）取代原有的巴拿马运河淡水附加费，适用于往返厄瓜多尔与秘鲁的货物，南行与北行货物均在征收之列；原淡水附加费在新费生效的同时到期终止。
按新费率，20英尺集装箱的附加费由125美元升至275美元，40英尺集装箱由250美元升至550美元，即每个集装箱分别增加150美元和300美元。该公司表示，新的收费反映了船舶通过巴拿马运河的成本上升。
巴拿马运河是连接太平洋与大西洋的核心航道，其通行费与各类附加安排的变化，会直接传导至经运河往来南美西海岸与美国东岸、欧洲等地航线的运输成本。
King Ocean Replaces Canal Freshwater Surcharge with Higher Panama Crossing Fee
Shipping line King Ocean will replace its Panama Canal Freshwater Surcharge with a new Panama Crossing Surcharge for cargo moving to and from Ecuador and Peru, effective October 14, 2026. The new charge applies to both southbound and northbound shipments, and the freshwater surcharge expires when the new charge takes effect.
Under the new rates, the surcharge for a 20-foot container rises from US$125 to US$275, and for a 40-foot container from US$250 to US$550 — increases of US$150 and US$300 per container respectively. According to the carrier, the new surcharge reflects increased costs associated with transiting the Panama Canal.
The Panama Canal is the core waterway linking the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and changes in its tolls and related surcharges feed directly into transport costs on routes between South America's west coast and the U.S. East Coast, Europe and beyond.
