The Alexandria Containers and Cargo Handling Company decided to reduce container handling fees by c. 20% for eight of its services starting August, Al Mal reported on Tuesday. The move is a bid to attract customers after the recent fuel price hike, which is expected to have an inflationary effect on shipping and transport fees. In a surprise move the company also increased fees by up to 60% for two services, an unnamed company executive tells the newspaper.
