AADA levies BAF at US$600/TEU from Far East to Australia from May 21

MEMBER carriers of the Asia Australia Discussion Agreement have announced a Bunker Surcharge adjustment from Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to ports in Australia to US$600 per TEU and $1,200 per FEU for dry and refrigerated containers from May 21.

This reflects recent increases in the price of oil at Hong Kong and South Korea, said the organisation, adding that the change was made in accordance with the established review procedures.


"Customers requiring further information concerning the bunker surcharge should contact the member lines," said the AADA statement.


AADA members are ANL Singapore, China Shipping, Cosco, Hamburg Sud, Hanjin, Hapag-Lloyd, Hyundai, "K" Line, Maersk, MSC, MOL, NYK, OOCL, Gold Star and Zim.
