HUAL INCREASES TRANSATLANTIC BUNKER CHARGE
HUAL, the Norwegian roll-on/roll-off carrier, is increasing its westbound transatlantic bunker charge.
Effective Feb. 1, the carrier’s emergency bunker adjustment factor will rise to 15 percent, from 10 percent. The charge applies to general cargo shipments from northern Europe to North America.
The charge applies westbound only, but HUAL is now considering the introduction of a bunker charge in the eastbound transatlantic trade.
HUAL said that the trend of high bunker prices has continued.
