Business News of Wednesday, 15 September 2021Source: GNAThe Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana on Tuesday welcomed a decision by CMA CGM Group, an international container transportation, and shipping company, to suspend the increment of freight charges effective September 9, 2021, to February 1, 2022. Mr Awingobit said: “the Association which has been fighting shipping lines over the astronomical increment in freight charges at the detriment of our members, see this directive as a sigh of relief”. The Association commended the CMA CGM Group for taking the bold step after acknowledging the massive investment they had already made in terms of increasing capacity to meet the demand of their customers. This, the Association, believes would go a long way to bring some relief to importers who had been affected by the unexplained increment in the past. “We urge all members (Importers) to cash in on the latest development which began this month, and patronize the services of the various shipping lines under CMA CGM,” it said.
