Tropical Shipping strives to deliver the best transportation value and is committed to providing the highest levels of service, security and efficiency that our customers have come to expect.
In order to offset increased costs associated with valued added tax (VAT) charges, Tropical Shipping must increase demurrage charges for equipment destined to Nassau, Bahamas, effective September 2, 2018, from all ports except Halifax, Canada.
