Fuel surcharge/Variable surcharge

After wages, fuel costs are the biggest cost item in the transport industry. Our diesel fuel surcharge is based on the guidelines of ‘Transport en Logistiek Nederland’ (www.tln.nl).

As diesel prices regularly fluctuate and cannot be influenced, Schenker Logistics Nederland B.V. applies a fuel surcharge. We publish an up-to-date summary of the diesel surcharge every month.

Schenker Logistics Nederland B.V. reserves all rights to define both the height of the percentage as well as the duration of the surcharge. Please check our web page on a regular basis for alterations.

Marpol surcharge

Given the fluctuating fuel prices and the fact that this surcharge depends on the current oil price, we have decided to make this surcharge variable and no longer express it in percentages. The surcharge is updated monthly to an amount per 100 kg. This makes it more transparent for you and you are assured that the surcharge will be passed on 1 to 1.

Amounts per 100 kg (based 333/1850):

Figures show that the share of the costs calculated in Swiss francs is 40% for groupage. For LTL / FTL this is 25%.

Example:
Based on the rate of exchange on 1 March 2015:
Shipments < 2,500 kg: 12% x 40% = 4.80%
Shipments > 2,500 kg: 12% x 25% = 3.00%

Calculation on 1 December 2024:
Shipments < 2,500 kg: 29.31% x 40% = 11.72%
Shipments > 2,500 kg: 29.31% x 25% = 7.33%

Calculation on 1 November 2024:
Shipments < 2,500 kg: 27.58% x 40% = 11.03%
Shipments > 2,500 kg: 27.58% x 25% = 6.90%
