Dear Sir or Madam,
We are writing in reference to our newsletter dated March 11, 2026.
As previously mentioned, the escalation of the conflict in the Persian Gulf is leading to a sharp rise in fuel costs.
This development is resulting in unforeseen additional costs for all market participants. In particular, the trucking companies we use are feeling the impact of the increased fuel costs significantly and have already initiated measures with us.
Regardless of the calculation basis and the current billing method for our diesel floater with your company, this situation requires urgent action.
Based on the BGL floater we use as a reference, we are applying an additional increase of 10 percentage points.
For all transport orders with a delivery date from April 1, 2026, until further notice, we will also charge an emergency fuel surcharge of EUR 18.00 per empty and loaded container.
The basis for calculation is the BGL diesel floater; in addition, we reference further comparative values and daily prices from well-known providers.
Please note that due to the lag in the calculation logic, the increased values will not affect the standard floater until a later date.
The situation is assessed on a weekly basis. In the event of further extreme price developments, we reserve the right to make further necessary adjustments.
Once the standard fuel surcharge reflects these increases, the measure will be discontinued.
Of course, we always offer you the option of booking only the rail transport portion through EUROGATE Intermodal and arranging the trucking service on your own.
Thank you for your attention. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have further questions.
