THE TRANS-ATLANTIC CONFERENCE AGREEMENT (TACA) announces:
The Shipping public will be aware that the escalating price of fuel, particularly over the past eight months, has affected all Parties through increased costs and/or associated tariff charges. In assessing the Bunker Adjustment Factor TACA has continued to follow procedures in keeping with the long established bunker formula. However, notwithstanding insufficient returns, coupled with increased costs, it has become apparent to the TACA Parties that the most recent increases in the price of fuel have created a situation believed to be untenable in today's market.
The TACA Parties, therefore, wish to advise their customers that the bunker formula will be suspended, temporarily, and the current BAF will be adjusted, with immediate effect, to the levels published and in effect on September 16, 2007. These levels will remain effective through, at least, February 15th, 2008
