High & Wide cargo on flat rack containers to/from Port Newark/ New York

Please note that many NJ/NY marine terminals will charge a crane charge for flat racks out of gauge which will be over and above the ocean freight rate quoted by ocean carriers. This extra cost ranges from $450 to $3,100 as per our personal experience. So, be careful and ask the marine terminal you designate what the cost is for each and every out of gauge flat rack container.
