In reference to SECA surcharge announcement published on 11.10.2015 and in order to prepare for implementation of new BAF scale Containerships will execute structural changes to all valid quotations, the company said in its press release.
During 13th and 14th of December the current BAF will be "frozen" and added into the freight amount. Consequently all invoices issued on 15th of December and thereafter will not show any bunker surcharge as freight additional. Instead the total freight amount will be increased by the BAF amount previously charged as freight additional. This change will have NO effect on the total transportation prices invoiced to customers.
For quotations agreed in other than EUR-currency the exchange rate valid at the time of implementation will be used.
A new BAF scale will be implemented with reference value zero as from 01.01.2015. Simultaneously the SECA surcharge will come into force.
