Updated BAF Emergency July
Due to the current global situation, where the crude oil price has risen sharply and as a result also the fuel price, we will need to compensate for this unforeseen cost increase. The price increase is completely beyond our control and is classified as force majeure.
Adjustment of fuel-related surcharges
As of 2026-06-01, we will revert to monthly adjustments of our Fuel Adjustment/Currency Adjustment. The corresponding change will also be applied to Emergency Fuel & BAF surcharge. This means that updates will be made monthly instead of weekly.
