Global Ocean Freight Info 06/2018 External Global Ocean Freight Info Dear valued customer, Bunker expenses have a large impact on the Ocean Freight rates. Fuel prices have gone up significantly over the past 12 months with a very steep increase since beginning of the year. This development is not reflected through the standard BAF formulas. To account for this development and sustain quality in services, various surcharges related to this development have been implemented with effective date June 1st, 2018. Kindly be informed that with immediate effect SchenkerOcean has decided to introduce an Emergency Bunker Surcharge (EBS) of Usd 62.50 per Teu for standard boxes Usd 92.50 per Teu for Reefer boxes Usd 3.50 per w/m for LCL-shipments (*note FMC governed trades after 30 days). The EBS will be added to our invoices and stated as a separate ocean freight surcharge. The expected duration of its application will depend on the development of the oil prices. We will keep you posted about latest developments.   Thank you for your understanding and your continued support. In case of questions, please liaise with your contact person at DB Schenker.
