England traffic: Samskip introduces surcharges ahead of Brexit

As March 29th comes closer, Samskip sees the demand for transport services avoiding the ferry ports of southern England increasing. To minimise the impact of the Brexit exceptional situations, and ensure a reliable service for customers, the company plans to mitigate the risk by introducing a fee – the Pre-Brexit Peak Volume Surcharge.

The volume to which the surcharge will apply will be the volume in excess of the average weekly volumes moved with Samskip in 2018 for each customer. A Surcharge Free Weekly Allocation will be offered as a surcharge exempt weekly capacity allocation on all cargo with load dates during February and March 2019. The Samskip Pre-Brexit Peak Volume Surcharge will apply to each individual shipment loading beyond the customers’ Surcharge Free Weekly Allocation. Pre-Brexit Peak Volume Surcharge calculation per load will be: EUR 243. The Pre-Brexit Surcharge applies to all shipments to and from the UK until 1st of April.

Furthermore, Samskip anticipates the market intention to increase safety stock in containers. To protect their capacity in supporting clients, the company will increase the storage cost for 45ft dry-, curtainsided- and reefer containers and for flat-racks, after the Contractual free days. So, from 1st of February a Quay Rent Surcharge will apply. These changes apply for collections and shipments to and from the UK, including Northern Ireland.

To be added on top of current charge:Quay Rent Surcharge applied after contractual free days: EUR 98 per calendar day. This amendment in quay rent conditions will be valid from 1st February until further notice.
