From Financial Times-- ft.com Global Archives Search: FINANCIAL POST: SHIPPERS IMPOSING CHARGES TO AVOID MILLENNIUM PROBLEMS: EXTRA DEMAND EXPECTED Financial Post - Canada, 23-Jun-1999 322 words. LONDON - Shipping lines on the Europe-Asia trade routes plan to impose a "millennium surcharge" on companies seeking to move large numbers of containers to Europe before the Year 2000. They are writing an option to levy a "millennium surcharge" of... Cost $1.50 (I do not have an account.) I picked this up from csy2k this morning. According to the poster "The Far Eastern Freight Conference announced yesterday that they will impose a millennium surcharge on goods shipped between Europe and Asia in the second half of 1999. They expect rises of up to 40 per cent in freight traffic as souvenirs and survival gear are transshipped." Interesting, eh?
