Review and Final Publication Date
The first Tuesday of each month the Carrier will review the actual four week running WTI average (“Review Date”). If the Review Date concludes a change either downward or upward in the four week running average of the WTI then the Carrier will publish an adjustment in Carrier’s bunker surcharge by adjusting the four week running average in its tariff to an amount at or below the previously published estimated four week running average that was published 30 days prior to the Review Date. The new surcharge rates will become effective for all tariff and contract commodities the effective date of publication of the actual four week WTI average based on the Bunker Surcharge Chart.
At the same time the actual four week running average is applied, Carrier shall publish a new estimated four week running average of the WTI to take effect on thirty (30) days after publication. The combination of publishing a table of adjustments, showing the actual four week running average on Carrier’s website every week, and forward publishing the estimated bunker adjustment as described, shall give the shipping public significant knowledge of where the bunker surcharge is trending at any given time.
