Collection of Extra Fuel Surcharge for Servicing Containers
 

Recognising  the  extraordinary increase in fuel costs, the Port Authority of Thailand has  announced  a Fuel Surcharge for  container handling at Bangkok Port and Laem Chabang Port .The fuel surcharge is being implemented  by the PAT in order to partially relieve the port operators from the  impact of   high fuel price,  yet being able to provide world class container handling services.
 We have enclosed the PAT announcement in Thai and English for   your perusal. In summary , the surcharge which takes effect  from 16th May 2007  is as   indicated below:
Baht (excluded VAT)/Box
Size     .........................  20’        40’       >40’
Loaded Container       36        72         80
Empty Container         22        44         50

The fuel surcharge will be added to all wharfages invoices and will be the responsibility of the receiving party of the wharfage invoice to pay the fuel surcharge along with normal charges.

We wish to thank you for your continued  valued support and we are sure that you will understand the necessity for this fuel surcharge  which remains in accordance with the PAT  directive.
 
Yours Sincerely

Anil Singh
