I was wondering (still am, actually) whether there is an increase or decrease in fuel surcharge.


Dear Sir/Mdm,

Thank you for your enquiry.

You wanted to find out is there a fuel charge increase or decrease.

According to the article as attached, it was referring to fuel charge by ferry. I managed to locate an article "Ferry operators still charge for fuel" from asiaone.com/Travel/News/Story/A1Story20081101-97740.html (Last accessed 21 Apr 09). In the article, it mentioned that "In recent months, petrol companies and transport operators have either cut prices or scrapped fuel surcharges, following falls in oil prices. But what about fuel surcharges for ferries?"

Hence the article, which was attached was dated 3 Oct 08, showed that the fuel charge had dropped from $15 to $10 may mean that the fuel surcharge for ferries has dropped, followed by the drop in fuel surcharge by petrol companies and transport operators.

We hope that the above has been useful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.
