The EU Sulphur Directive entered into force on January 1, 2015 and after that shipping companies started forwarding the increase in the fuel costs to hauliers, either as a part of their bunker surcharge or as a separate MARPOL surcharge.

DHL Freight Finland calculated the effect on its transports and introduced a MARPOL surcharge per traffic area as of the beginning of year 2015.

The rates are based on current information provided by the shipping companies. We reserve ourselves the right to adjust the surcharges, if the charges debited by the shipping companies change considerably. In addition to MARPOL, fuel surcharges apply as before.

MARPOL surcharges apply to Euroconnect, Eurapid, Euroline and Thermo products, i.e. groupage, part and full loads in both import and export

Background

January 1, 2015, the EU Sulphur Directive (2012/33/EU) entered into force. The directive imposes restrictions on sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions from ships sailing in the Baltic Sea region, the North Sea and the English Channel. It requires ships to use fuel with a maximum of 0.1 % sulphur or to apply alternative methods – such as scrubbers or LNG fuel systems – to achieve the same reduction in sulphur dioxide emissions.

Fuel with 0.1 % sulphur content (MGO, marine gasoil) is significantly more expensive than heavy fuel oil (HFO) currently allowed and commonly used inside the Northern European seawaters. As a consequence of the directive, the fuel costs of the shipping companies will increase. On the other hand, investments in technical solutions will also have a significant impact on the costs of shipping.

Several European countries charge a road tax for heavy goods traffic.
We have determined the effect of these road taxes on our prices region by region for groupage shipments and part loads.
The toll surcharge is charged in the traffics listed below as a kilometer based separate surcharge per 100 kg.
For full load transports, the toll surcharge is charged per shipment.

Austria
Belgium and transit traffic to the following countries: ES, FR, LU and PT
Czech Republic
Germany and transit traffic to the following countries: AL, ES, FR, GR, IT, LU, NL and PT
