Hapag-Lloyd attempts to avoid a ‘messy’ IMO 2020, unveiling its ‘fairer’ MRF

Hapag-Lloyd has rolled out its plans for recovering the extra cost of compliance with the IMO’s 0.5% sulphur cap for shipping, which comes into force in less than 15 months.
It no doubt hopes its proposals will be better received by customers than those of its rivals – slammed by suspicious shippers as “lacking transparency” and  “blatant profiteering”.
Hapag-Lloyd estimates the annual cost of compliance with IMO2020, from 1 January 2020, for its fleet of some …

Hapag Lloyd to implement Marine Fuel Recovery mechanism

Ahead of the 2020 sulphur cap, Hapag Lloyd said that using low-sulphur fuel oil will be the key solution for the company to remain compliant. This fuel however, comes with an increase in fuel costs, something that made Hapag Lloyd establish a Marine Fuel Recovery (MFR) mechanism. This will be gradually implemented from 1 January 2019 and replace all existing fuel-related charges.

Hapag-Lloyd estimates its additional costs to be around 1 billion US dollars in the first years. For this reason it...

Hapag-Lloyd to use MFR mechanism for IMO 2020 cost

Environmental regulation and costs from low-sulphur fuel represent a major challenge / New Marine Fuel Recovery (MFR) allows causal, transparent and easy-to-understand calculation of fuel oil costs

This new regulation will significantly improve the ecological footprint of the shipping industry,...

It’s Wednesday? Chance for a used HL’s container

When 20- or 40-foot standard containers no longer meet Hapag-Lloyd’s quality standards, it doesn’t at all mean they’re unusable. On the contrary, Dwight Ricaldi sells decommissioned containers to buyers across the world.

Dwight Ricaldi always has a lot to do on Wednesdays. You see, that’s the day of the week when the Hapag-Lloyd containers that have been taken out of service find new owners. Before that, M&R (“maintenance & repair”) employees around the world report to company headquarters in...
