Bunker and MARPOL fuel surcharges effective from 17.07.2009


Dear Customer,

The fluctuations in the crude oil market have led to an increase in the price of bunker oil used by our vessels.

Therefore we will adjust our bunker surcharge from the present 22.6% (effective from 19 June 2009) to 25.6% with effect from 17 July 2009.


As from 19.05.2006 shipping lines calling MARPOL area in the Baltic are forced to use low-sulphur fuel of 1.5%, both in the Baltic and North Sea service, due to normal bunkering practise. This extra MARPOL surcharge is invoiced in addition to our present bunker clause.

The MARPOL fuel surcharge of 1.8% valid from 6 March 2009 will remain unchanged.

In case you require further information, don't hesitate to contact us.
