Bunker Clause, Baltic and North Sea Services

The Finnlines Baltic and North Sea Services Bunker Clause

All freight rates are exclusive of bunker surcharge, BRF. As from 1 January 2020 the surcharge has been based on the mix of ULSFO (75%) and MGO (25%) price notation in Rotterdam, as published by PLATTS Bunker Wire.

The observation period of the fuel prices is one calendar month.

The amount of surcharge is based on a table, where the bunker price index is calculated as described above. The surcharge is valid until there is a change in the bunker prices to validate an adjustment. The surcharge is then adjusted on the first working day of the month, and a notice is given to the customers and / or published on Finnlines’ website. The new bunker surcharge will be valid on the 7th day of the month.

The clause will be re-evaluated whenever there are significant changes in relevant factors (essentially on yearly basis).

Kindly note, that the bunker surcharge will be defined as percentage of the freight, except for trailers and lorries in the Baltic Services for which EUR/lane metre will be used.
