British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) question freight rate increases

16 August 2021

 

The BCC wrote last week to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) seeking a full investigation into the international shipping market as it affects UK businesses and inflation, following a survey and other data from the Chambers Network. In some cases, shipping costs have risen seven-fold and availability continues to be patchy, principally from Asia-Pacific. We will keep you updated on the outcome of the CMA’s decisions.
