Mediterranean shipping

The recent surge in fuel prices may cause the container industry to lose $1.3 billion this year. At the same time, Mediterranean Shipping announced that it will charge a temporary fuel surcharge to ease the cost pressure.

Analyst SeaIntel said recently that this year's increasing fuel costs have caused the cash flow losses of the 580 million US dollars. This year, this loss is expected to reach $1.3 billion. The current tariff level is not enough to offset the soaring fuel costs. In the next six months, the freight rate must be raised by 12% to 15% to compensate for the negative impact of rising oil prices.

Mediterranean Shipping said: “It is a last resort to collect fuel surcharges. We will respond to the challenges in a stable and sustainable manner and continue to provide high quality services to all our customers.” At the same time, we added, “We continue to evaluate long-term strategies, To ease the current situation."

Since Trump announced a new round of sanctions against Iran, global oil prices have continued to soar and fuel costs for the shipping industry have increased. Profits such as Maersk and Hyundai Merchant Marine, which had previously released their first-quarter results, were affected.

On May 21, Mediterranean Shipping issued a statement on the official website saying that the decision to collect the temporary fuel surcharge in consideration of the cost pressure caused by the continued rise in fuel prices will take effect immediately. Without urgent action, normal operations will not be guaranteed.
