New $100 container surcharge at UAE's Khorfakkan port
阿拉伯聯合大公國豪爾法坎港（Khorfakkan port）新增 100 美元貨櫃附加費
Starting March 15, 2026, the Khorfakkan Commercial Terminal (KCT) in the United Arab Emirates has introduced a new $100 Emergency Operational Recovery Surcharge per container.
自2026年3月15日起，阿拉伯聯合大公國的豪爾費坎商業碼頭（KCT）針對每個貨櫃引入了100美元的「緊急營運復甦附加費」(ㄐㄧㄣ ㄐㄧˊ ㄧㄥˊ ㄩㄣˋ ㄈㄨˋ ㄙㄨ ㄈㄨˋ ㄐㄧㄚ ㄈㄟˋ)。
Operated by Gulftainer, this fee addresses rising operational costs and infrastructure strain caused by sudden spikes in cargo volume.
該費用由Gulftainer營運商徵收，旨在應對因貨運量突然激增所導致的營運成本上升及基礎設施壓力。
Regional geopolitical tensions have forced many shipping lines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, turning Khorfakkan—located on the Gulf of Oman—into a strategic alternative for cargo.
區域性的地緣政治緊張局勢迫使許多航運公司繞過荷姆茲海峽，使位於阿曼灣的豪爾費坎成為貨運的戰略替代方案。
As a result, the port is facing massive congestion and an influx of cargo it was not originally designed to handle at this scale.
因此，該港口正面臨嚴重擁堵，以及原本規模設計無法負荷的貨運量。
This surcharge applies to nearly all container types, including dangerous goods and reefer containers, though US-regulated trades see the fee applied 30 days later.
此附加費適用於幾乎所有貨櫃類型，包含危險品及冷凍貨櫃，唯受美國監管的貿易路線在30天後才適用該費用。
This move reflects the broader challenges in maritime logistics, where ships are already dealing with increased fuel costs, longer routes, and higher insurance premiums due to ongoing security concerns.
此舉反映了海運物流業面臨的廣泛挑戰，航運公司在當前的安全疑慮下，已需應對燃料成本增加、航程延長及保險費上漲等問題。
