How peak season and bunker surcharges are applied

Two surcharges commonly seen in peak season:

• Scope: the trade lanes and container types stated in the carrier's notice
• Basis: per container type or per shipment, listed separately from ocean freight
• Effective date: generally the on-board date of the bill of lading

Every charge item is listed separately on the quotation so your finance team can reconcile easily. If the carrier adjusts at short notice, we re-issue the quotation accordingly.
