USA incl. Cross-border – Inland Fuel Surcharge for Rail and Combined Rail Moves

We would like to inform you that with effect from May 1, 2019 Hapag-Lloyd will implement a Fuel Surcharge for Inland Haulage under Carrier agreement within the United States (including Cross-border) for rail and combined rail inland moves as follows:

Charges for Exports (FOI) and Imports (FDI)
Data for fuel surcharge adjustments will be based on the Weekly U.S. No 2 Diesel Retail Prices (Dollars per Gallon) which is available at: U.S. Energy Information Administration

The initial Diesel Price baseline is $3.18 based on the 2018 average. At this level, our Fuel Surcharge amount would be $40 per container. For every $0.10 change in the quarterly average from the baseline mentioned above, the fuel surcharge will go up or down by $8 per container. If the quarterly average changes by less than $0.10 from the baseline, the surcharge will not change.

The 1st quarterly diesel price average for 2019 is $3.018. Therefore, the Initial Fuel Surcharge amount will be $32 per container.
