Containerships cuts surcharges on lower bunker prices


Bunker surcharges lowered for Baltic and North Sea shipments.



Finnish shipping company Containerships Ltd Oy has confirmed that it will be decreasing its bunker surcharges for Baltic and North Sea shipments with a sailing date later than August 31, 2015.

The reason for the surcharge cuts was cited as being the recent decline in bunker fuel prices.

The inland fuel surcharge for 2015 will remain at €0,00 per kilometre - no surcharge applicable.
