Implementation of Global Emergency Bunker Surcharge (EBS)


Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) have received concerns from several members about the announcement from a number of shipping lines that they will be introducing a Global Emergency Bunker Surcharge (EBS). 

Notifications have been received by Maersk, CMA CGM and MSC., with others anticipated to follow this week.  A copy of those notifications are available HERE

Shippers and shipping commentators around the world have expressed concerns regarding the charge, recommending that more sustainable and long-term mechanisms should be in place to respond to fuel price fluctuations. Shippers have also questioned if these charges will be rolled back when the fuel price stabilises. 

FTA/APSA has responded to the charges in an article in today's Daily Commercial Newsand will continue to advocate via the Global Shippers Forum. 

We will provide more information as it emerges.

Weekly Market Commentary

Geo-Political issues remain in the forefront of markets, with North Korea being the prominent issue this week. This is directly linked to the China trade negotiations and progress is being made. On the economic front, the Fed minutes revealed a certain latitude with inflation, allowing the 2% limit to be temporarily breeched. This encouraged markets, with 10 year bond yields falling to 2.93%, releasing pressure. The Dollar lost ground against the Yen, trading 109.40, while commodity currencies stabilised. The EUR slipped back to 1.1650, bucking the trend, as Italian populist parties look to assume control of the nation. The anti-euro parties are likely to blow fiscal restraints, wipe away debt and have consequently attracted rating agencies to threaten downgrades.
