據(jù)3月23日Oil Monster消息：埃及蘇伊士運(yùn)河管理局周二表示，從5月1日起，將對往返蘇伊士運(yùn)河的裝載原油和石油產(chǎn)品的油輪征收的附加費(fèi)從正常費(fèi)率的5%臨時上調(diào)至15%。

它表示，雙向過境運(yùn)河的壓載原油油輪和石油產(chǎn)品油輪仍需支付正常過境費(fèi)的5%的附加費(fèi)。

根據(jù)周二在其網(wǎng)站上發(fā)布的一系列通知，這些變化是“與全球貿(mào)易的顯著增長、船舶經(jīng)濟(jì)的改善、蘇伊士運(yùn)河航道的發(fā)展和過境服務(wù)的加強(qiáng)相一致”。

對裝載和壓載液化氣運(yùn)輸船、化學(xué)品運(yùn)輸船和其他液體散裝運(yùn)輸船的加征費(fèi)用也將從原來的10%提高到正常過路費(fèi)的20%。

管理局還表示，對通過運(yùn)河的滿載和壓載干散貨船征收的雙向附加費(fèi)將由原來的5%調(diào)整為正常過境費(fèi)的10%，而對其他船只征收的過境費(fèi)則由7%調(diào)整為14%。

運(yùn)河管理局的一份通知稱:“這些附加費(fèi)是臨時性的，可以根據(jù)航運(yùn)業(yè)市場情況修改或取消。”

蘇伊士運(yùn)河2月份收入增長15.1%，至5.455億美元。

蘇伊士運(yùn)河管理局主席奧薩馬·拉比3月1日表示，運(yùn)河收入在過境費(fèi)率創(chuàng)歷史新高之后激增，有1713艘船只通過該水道，而去年同期為1532艘。

Egypt's Suez Canal Increases Tolls for Laden Crude Oil Tankers

Egypt's Suez Canal Authority said on Tuesday it will temporarily increase a surcharge levied on laden crude oil tankers and petroleum products tankers transiting the canal in both directions to 15% of normal dues from 5%, effective May 1.

It said that ballast crude oil tankers and petroleum products tankers transiting the Canal in both directions are still required to pay a surcharge of 5% of normal transit dues.

The changes come "in line with the significant growth in global trade, the improvement of ships' economics, the Suez Canal waterway development and the enhancement of the transit service", according to series of circulars published on its website on Tuesday.

The surcharge levied on laden and ballast liquefied petroleum gas tankers, chemical tankers and other liquid bulk tankers will be also increased to 20% of normal transit dues, from 10% previously.

The Authority also said it will change the surcharge levied on laden and ballast dry bulk vessels transiting the Canal in both directions, to 10% of normal transit dues, compared with 5% previously, while the surcharge levied on other vessels was amended to 14% from 7%.

"These surcharges are temporary and can be either amended or cancelled according to the maritime industry market conditions", a canal authority circular said.

The Suez Canal posted a 15.1% jump in revenue in February to $545.5 million.

Canal revenue surged after a record rise in transit rates, with 1,713 ships passing through the waterway versus 1,532 a year earlier, Suez Canal Authority Chairman Osama Rabie said on March 1.
