Fuel

Fuel base set at a maximum of € 1.30 per litre including VAT (see: Salland)
For every €0.04 increase the rate will be adjusted by 1%.
This surcharge is based on the values of the above source on the first of every month.

CAF

Applicable on transports to and from the UK for customers paying euros (€).
Currency base set at a maximum of € 1.20 per British pound (£) (see: DNB Rate Currency).
To determine the CAF for the month coming the average value of the British pound (£) of the running month will be compared to the value at January 2015. We have determined the effect of UK haulage on the overall costs to be 35%.

ADR/IMO

We can only accept dangerous goods after confirmation of the ferry company. DGD/DGN is to be provided one day before loading. The surcharge for shipments with dangerous goods purely class 3, 8, 9, and all LTQ is €125 per shipment, except for cargo from and to Scandinavia which are to be provided on request. All other classes are subject to request as well. The cargo needs to be packed according to the ADR regulations, and when shipping via sea also according to the IMDG code.

Calculation

1 M3​​​=330kg​​
1 LDM​​​=1,750kg
1 Euro pallet (120×80cm)=700kg
1 Standard pallet (120×100cm)=875kg

Please note the highest equivalent will be used for invoicing purposes.
