Environmental Fuel Fee (EFF) - April 2021

2021-03-01

Dear Valued Customer,

Hamburg Süd would like to inform you about the revision of our Environmental Fuel Fee (EFF) effective April 1st 2021.

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 53,14 USD/ton.* The details on the period and reference port used for the calculation of the EFF levels can be found in the table below.

Fuel type Period ROT SIN PAN Average
VLSFO 26 DEC'20 - 25 JAN'21 406,89 433,18 424,89 421,65
LSMGO 26 JAN'21 - 25 FEB'21 460,09 488,60 475,68 474,79
Difference (USD/ton) Period 2 vs Period 1 53,19 55,43 50,79 53,14

*Intra-Europe EFF based only on ROT index
