<\/span>Dubai-based shipping operators are now allowed to increase their container charges <\/span>after the Dubai Maritime Authority (DMA) terminated the freeze on maritime firms\u2019 charges <\/span>previously introduced<\/a><\/span> in May by the DMA, Emirati News Agency <\/span>WAM<\/a><\/span> reports. The decision, which also requires maritime firms to publish all previously filed charges on their websites, comes in a bid to<\/span> drive business activity and promote stronger consumer protection and transparency throughout the maritime sector, WAM said. <\/span><\/p>\n

All charge increases must take place via Dubai Trade single-window to boost transparency:<\/span> Local sea container service providers can request amendments to their charges through the Dubai Trade single-window portal, according to WAM. They must also publicly disclose their previously filed charges with the DMA on their corporate website within 30 days, and can bill customers directly through the trade window. <\/span><\/p>\n

Background: <\/span>The authority had issued a directive in May requiring all maritime firms in the emirate to declare their tariffs to the authority via the single-window portal to combat hidden charges and price fixing, according to law firm <\/span>Al Tamimi & Co<\/a><\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
