Environmental Fuel Fee (EFF)

Dear Valued Customer,

We would like to inform you about the revision of our Environmental Fuel Fee (EFF) for all trades.

The EFF tariffs have been reviewed using the price development of Bunkerworld’s fuel price index of 0.5% Sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and looking into the trigger communicated previously (changes of more than 50 USD/TON – up or down – compared to the last tariff adjustment). In this specific case, the price difference between the two periods is 60,35 USD/TON. The details on the period and reference ports used for the calculation of the EFF levels can be found in the table below.

Effective September 1st 2021, the Environmental Fuel Fee (EFF) Surcharge will be as follows:

In addition to EFF, further price elements may apply:
