Implementation of IMO2020 Surcharges
Important notice to our valued clients,
With International Maritime Organization (IMO) introducing regulations to limit Sulphur content in fuel oil used by the ocean carriers from 3.5% to 0.5% (effective 1st January 2020), shipping lines have begun to implement/increase their low sulphur surcharge (LSS), which is also commonly known as IMO2020 Surcharge. This is going to result in a significant increase to both FCL and LCL shipping prices, to and from every port around the globe and we urge our clients to read the below attachment which goes into more detail on the implementation of the low sulphur limit / IMO 2020.
