The formula used to generate this surcharge rate calculates the average fuel purchase price per litre @ the average fuel consumed per ton loaded or discharged for 2020 against the published UAE average monthly fuel purchase price. The latter which is routinely published on or after the 28th day of each month.

The Port Management regrets having to pass on these costs and would like to thank its customers and agents for their understanding.in this respect.
