In the recent past, export equipment needs for shipments ex Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia were covered by surplus equipment from Russian imports, MOL said in its press release. Following the Russian economic crisis, import volumes into Russia have dropped considerably. As a result equipment required to cover the export needs from the aforementioned countries is increasingly being sourced from North Europe main ports such as Hamburg and Rotterdam. In order to cover the additional cost MOL has decide to introduce a GRI for shipments ex the aforementioned countries.
The following GRIs will be effective from 1 April 2015 (Bill of Lading date).
