Change to cargo handling – fuel surcharge

13 Sep 2023 / Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates

The Fuel Surcharge will be reviewed on a monthly basis. The October 2023 surcharge is based on the published fuel price of the month of September 2023 (3.40 AED per gallon/diesel).

With effect of 1 September 2023, until advised otherwise, the following surcharge will be invoiced for each Metric Ton/Freight Ton loaded or discharged at RAK Ports:
- 0.23 AED per Metric Ton/Freight Ton

The formula used to generate this surcharge rate calculates the average fuel purchase price per litre @ the average fuel consumed per ton loaded or discharged for 2020 against the published UAE average monthly fuel purchase price. The latter which is routinely published on or after the 28th day of each month.
