		<description><![CDATA[    Container shipping rates from the U.S. to Asia are going up, if the members of the Westbound Transpacific Stabilization Agreement (WTSA) get their way.

The WTSA, a group of 10 container shipping lines, said today it plans to increase its dry cargo rates by $150 per 40-foot container (FEU) and $120 per 20-foot container (TEU) from the U.S. West Coast and by $200 per FEU and $160 per TEU for intermodal moves or all-water shipment via the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts. Rate increases are effective Sept. 1.

		<description><![CDATA[    Given the unprecedented market conditions in early 2009, TSA member lines did not announce a customary program of rate and surcharge adjustments for the upcoming contract year, that would form the basis for contract negotiations. 

However, upon reviewing the results of negotiations after most contracts had been signed, carriers determined that overall rate levels in the trade going forward  - and locked in for 12 months - were unsustainable, and that further revenue improvement was needed.

On July 7, 2009 transpacific container shipping lines announced an interim revenue improvement program for the 2009-10 contract year, including:

 

   - A $500 per 40-foot container (FEU) rate increase for all commodities 
     and all U.S destinations, to take effect August 10, 2009.
