Dear Valued Customer,
We greatly appreciate our partnership and your choice for selecting our maritime services by nominating us for the transportation of your cargo.
We are continuously monitoring the situation in the Middle East.
To our regret, the security tensions in Red Sea and Bab Al Mandab are escalating.
Due to this fact SILMAR SHIPPING FZCO will adjust Extra Risk Surcharge (ERS) for Red Sea crossing as follows.
Effective 01.05.26 by Date of Bill of Lading issue.
Cargoes crossing Suez Eastbound - USD 225 / TEU.
Cargoes crossing Suez Westbound - USD 425 / TEU.
Above surcharges are valid for all types of containers both laden and empty, including special and reefer equipment, as well as for COC and SOC.
Above surcharges shall apply in addition to all existing tariff rates.
The Carrier reserves the right, at its sole discretion and with immediate effect, to revise (including increase/decrease), substitute, suspend or withdraw the surcharges and/or their amounts (and the method of application) if the situation or conditions of carriage change or deteriorate.
Any revision shall be effective immediately from the time it is announced by the Carrier (including by publication on the Carrier’s website or by written notice).
Please follow the news and updated information on our website. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your sales office.
