Jun 13, 2018 EBS invoicing to customers As earlier advised on our home page, the steam-ship lines have implemented a new surcharge EBS (Emergency Bunker Supplement), which has been in force for all sea freight-transports since 1/6/2018. The surcharge will affect all sea freight customers, who going forward will be paying as follows:USD 62.50 per TEU for standard containersUSD 92.50 per TEU for reefer containersUSD 4.00 per W/M for LCL-shipmentsOn your next invoice you will therefore see a separate line for the sea freight surcharge EBS.The surcharge is a consequence of the high jump in prices for fuel and oil in the latest year, which has not been reflected in the steam-ship lines’ BAF standard (Bunker Adjustment Factor), hence the EBS surcharge.We hope for your understanding, and if you would like more information you are always welcome to contact us on +45 36 86 95 00 or dk.sm.cph.Ocean-product-pricing@DBSchenker.com.
