23.08.2010 - Bunker surcharge

Bunker prices have risen substantially after a long period of stability. Therefore we will adjust our bunker surcharge to 8,18% which will take effect in our invoicing from September 13, 2010.

The present surcharge is 7,99%

Our bunker clause operates on the principle that it partly (1/3) shares the fluctuations in bunker costs with our customers. Practical changes in surcharges are applied only in time intervals exceeding 1 month to maintain stability in pricing.

The tariffs are based on the fuel price 385,40 €/m3 (1.7.2009 – Last tariff change). The observation period of changes in bunker price is four weeks. If the bunker costs change by an average of 6% or more in comparison with the basic price during the observation period, then 1/3 of the change will be charged as a bunker surcharge. The surcharge will take affect after a 14 days notification.

The notification can be viewed at www.alfonshakans.fi or if required, the bunker surcharge changes will be notified by email upon request.
