Tariff Review - Low Water Surcharge Paraguay 2024

To ensure safety navigation and maintain regularity, we inform you that Low Water Surcharge, applied to shipments originating from or destined to Paraguay, will be revised as follows, given the aggravation of the drought situation of Río Paraguay.

Effective date for non-FMC: PCD 23/09/2023

Effective date for FMC: PCD 20/10/2024

Scope: all shipments from/to Paraguay

Surcharge Code - LWC

*PCD = Price Calculation Date.
*For non-FMC, PCD refers to the scheduled departure date of the first water leg at the time of booking confirmation.
*For FMC, PCD is last container gate-in date for non-spot bookings.
*For Spot bookings, is the Booking Confirmation date.

It is worth emphasizing that the application is based on the Price Calculation Date. For imports, there may be shipments arriving at the destination during the drought restriction with no application of LWC (if it was not effective at PCD), and shipments may arrive after drought restriction with application of LWC (if it was effective at PCD).

The LWC is an emergency and temporary charge, applicable due to the extraordinary conditions of navigation. It may be reviewed and adjusted, by virtue of the situation. It will cease when the sailing conditions return to normal by the time of the price calculation date.
