Ocean Fuel Surcharge

Fuel costs have outpaced the ability for the steamship lines to absorb the increases between the annual rate adjustments.  For a few years now, Fuel Surcharges have allowed the steamship lines to cover the fluctuating costs.  This is a list of the Fuel Surcharges over the past few years.  For a graphical chart of the surcharge, click here.
