Dear valued customers,

As many of you are observing every day in the news we are in a period of unprecedented world events and these have brought about a rapid and significant rise in bunker cost being faced by all shipping lines.  These events have forced us to introduce an Emergency Bunker Adjustment Factor (EBAF) which will be charged in addition to our existing BAF.

Therefore the following will be applicable for deliveries of all roro from and including the 28/3/22 ex N.Europe and UK. The EBAF will be reviewed monthly and adjusted accordingly.

Tilbury to..

Casablanca/Nouakchott/Dakar/Banjul/Conakry/Freetown/Monrovia/Abijan/Takoradi/Tema/Lome/Cotonou/Lagos

Cars £42 GBP per unit

Small Vans £42 GBP per unit

Big Vans £84 GBP per unit

LM cargo £42 GBP per LM

Tilbury to..

Douala/Bata/Malabo/Libreville/PointeNoire/Luanda

Cars £60 GBP per unit

Small Vans £60 GBP per unit

Big Vans £120 GBP per unit

LM cargo £60 GBP per LM

Please contact your Grimaldi local office for further details of the EBAF charge levels applicable for your shipments from N.European load ports.

We hope that events settle down soon, but whilst we live in these unprecedented times we may be forced to review other element of our costings to ensure the continued provision of the best possible services to the market places Grimaldi serve.

Regards

Dear Valued Customer,

As you will be aware from both the industry and general media, there is currently a severe shortage of truck drivers across the whole of the United Kingdom.

The pressure on supply has now reached a critical point, whereby, in order to keep pace with the escalating demand across the whole haulage network, we now need to pay a premium on our standard rates to secure ongoing support from our core suppliers.

Accordingly, effective October 1st 2021, Grimaldi Group will be implementing the below surcharge on all Carrier haulage moves in the UK.

Unless otherwise agreed, this fee will be applicable, on all Carrier haulage moves, for all equipment types, on service contract and tariff moves, and for both export and import shipments.

Driver Retention Surcharge

• GBP 45.00 per container

Please understand this additional fee will only keep us in line with the premiums and incentives already paid by other parties in what is a very challenging and pressured market.

We will continue to strive to do our best to meet your haulage requirements, however with Global exports building at all UK ports we do not anticipate the situation easing-up in the coming months.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

If you have any further questions on the above please contact your local Grimaldi commercial agent
