Trade Advisory: Addendum to Fuel Surcharge on Pilotage & Towage Services
Dear Valued Customer,
Warm greetings from APM Terminals Pipavav!
APM Terminals Pipavav remains committed to providing safe, efficient, and reliable marine services to all stakeholders.
This communication serves as a follow-up to our advisory dated April 1, 2026, regarding the introduction of a fuel surcharge on Pilotage and Towage services. As previously stated, the surcharge was to be linked to HFHSD price fluctuations. However, ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have triggered a sharp and sustained rise in global fuel prices, resulting in significantly higher maritime operational costs.
Accordingly, the band structure outlined in the earlier advisory has been revised, and additional slabs have now been incorporated into the fuel surcharge framework.
| HFHSD Price range | Fuel Surcharge (% of Pilotage & Towage Tariff) per GRT |
| 201 to 214 | 4.00% |
| 215 to 229 | 4.50% |
| 230 to 244 | 5.00% |
| 245 to 259 | 5.50% |
| 260 to 274 | 6.00% |
| 275 to 289 | 6.50% |
| 290 to 304 | 7.00% |
All other terms and conditions outlined in our advisory remain the same. APM Terminals Pipavav appreciates your continued support and understanding in adapting to prevailing market conditions.

Warm regards,
