Colfecar requests suspension of the $4,235 per ton charge in Buenaventura and warns of higher logistics costs

The Colombian Federation of Freight Road Carriers (Colfecar) has formally requested the suspension of a new $4,235 per-ton charge applied to cargo vehicles operating at port terminals in Buenaventura. The organization contends that this additional levy will result in increased logistical costs for the transport sector.

This request highlights ongoing concerns regarding the financial burden on freight operators navigating the country's port infrastructure. Colfecar’s intervention aims to mitigate the economic impact of these charges on the supply chain and the broader transportation industry.
