Notice Regarding the Introduction/Increase of the Fuel Surcharge for Intermodal Transport

Dear Customers, Growing geopolitical tensions and uncertainty in global energy markets are factors driving a sharp rise in fuel prices. Since fuel represents a key cost factor in inland transport and handling, these fluctuations may affect the operating costs of inland services.

We must hereby inform you that operators and shipping lines are gradually announcing surcharges for intermodal transport to and from ports as well. These surcharges already apply to import shipments that have been booked—i.e., those arriving, currently in port, at sea, booked, or awaiting confirmation of space.
 
The fuel surcharge for intermodal transport is applied at the time intermodal transport begins. Specifically, this means:
 
Import: on the day the container is picked up from the port of arrival and loaded onto the train
Export: on the day the goods are loaded into the container
 
At the same time, this surcharge is subject to revision depending on fluctuations in the price of diesel.
 
We will inform you individually regarding the specific fuel surcharge amount for each shipment.
 
Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your sales representative.
