Introduction of fuel surcharge

31 May 2022 / Dahej, India

Due steeply increased operating costs, Adani Petronet (Dahej) Port Private Limited will introduce a fuel surcharge on pilotage, in addition to the regular pilotage charges, of USD 0.1/ GT for all vessels calling at the port from 1 June.

The surcharge will be reviewed fortnightly, subject to the following:

  • Escalation/de-escalation in fuel-surcharge: Any cumulative increase or decrease in bulk fuel rate less than Re 1/litre will not have any change in the fuel surcharge, however any cumulative increase or decrease of Re 1/Litre or more in bulk fuel rate will have an increase or decrease in the ratio of Re 1/Litre : USD 0.003/GT.
  • The de-escalation in the surcharge is subject to maximum of USD 0.1/GT (i.e. base tariff rate) and hence the revised fuel surcharge rate cannot be negative.
  • The base price for bulk fuel rate for this purpose is the total landed price at Dahej which is currently at Rs 115.74/Litre.
