Due to the ongoing situation in the Red Sea, I would like to inform you of an update to the Emergency contingency surcharge.

The situation continues to cause industry-wide disruptions, including delays and bottlenecking at ports. We are aware of the challenges this is creating for our customers.

We are also experiencing industry-wide equipment and capacity shortages, as well as additional direct and indirect costs.

To continue meeting our customers’ needs, some surcharges will increase temporarily, as outlined below. These charges are effective from the Price Calculation Date (PCD) mentioned in the table below

Changes to the Emergency Contingency Surcharge (ECS) until further notice.
