To Our Valued Customers,

We are facing extreme and unusual weather conditions in the Baltic Sea with very low temperatures and heavy ice. These conditions are expected to worsen over the next weeks. In order to minimize the negative impact to the service we offer you, we have to take measures such as deploying an extra vessel and icebreakers. Consequently, we have to increase our Winter Surcharge (WSC) to USD 275/550 per 20’/40’.
