集装箱运输燃油附加费与燃油成本比较

Fuel Surcharge Practices of Container Shipping Lines and Comparison with Fuel Cost

研究集装箱最常见的附加费用——燃油附加费(Bunker Adjustment Factor,简称BAF)。班轮公司认为燃油费只是部分补偿运输成本的剧增,而货主认为此费用由班轮公司单方面制定,有盈利效应。随着班轮公会力量减弱,各家班轮公司采用的新的BAF计算方法。建立以航线为基础燃油成本估算模型,比较研究燃油附加费和燃油成本的关系,结合实例,验证燃油附加费是否具有盈利效应。

Shipping lines＇ practices of levying a fuel surcharges on shippers, also known as the Bunker Adjustment Factor or BAF are deals with. Shipping lines have In contrast, shippers have always objected that the way argued BAF is only partially compensated the freight rates. BAFs are determined is opaque, and involves a significant element of revenue-making. The relationship between fuel costs fluctuations and fuel surcharging practices is contributed to in focusing on. A cost model is applied to various routes and compares estimates on fuel costs with the observed BAFs on a set of port-to-port liner services.
