Options and Surcharges

DB SCHENKER offers a wide range of delivery options for both domestic and international transport to adjust our service to your needs in each moment.

You should know that this surcharge is not a price increase of the transport, but the compensation of additional costs that the fuel represents for any transport company. That is why this surcharge can go both upwards and downwards.

In DB SCHENKER struggle daily by the quality of the services that we offer to our customers and with the same purpose, incorporate multiple options to ensure the quality in every transport that stops in our hands.

As you are aware, the maritime industry is currently facing major regulatory changes, the first of which came into force on January 1, 2020 through the new IMO 2020 regulation. These regulations, approved by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), obliges ships to use fuels which sulfur content does not exceed 0,5% compared to the current limits of 3,5%.

Since sulfur oxide contributes greatly to the harmful emissions of ships, this limitation is part of the IMO's global response to the growing concern of companies and institutions for environmental preservation, a commitment that DB Schenker is highly involved in.

The cost of compliance with this new regulation is significant, which undoubtedly affects the cost of transport.

The goods to and from the Spanish Islands, transported by our System product, will have a surcharge for this concept (MFR).

MFR Islas Mayores (Tenerife and Palmas GC) = 1,11 euros/100 kg (minimum 1,11 euros)
