Introduction of a “Secure Release Order (SRO)” surcharge:

Further to our newsletter dated August 4, 2025, regarding the subject of ‘German Ports’, we would like to inform you that we will be implementing a Secure Release Order (SRO) surcharge of EUR 5.00 per imported loaded container from October 1, 2025.

The reason for this is the increased costs associated with using the German Ports platform. The surcharge applies exclusively to import containers that are handled via German seaports.
