Emergency Fuel Surcharge (EFSC) – Update
Dear Customer,
Pacifica Shipping have undertaken our scheduled fortnightly review of the Emergency Fuel Surcharge (EFSC) to ensure it remains aligned with prevailing global fuel price conditions and their impact on bunker costs in New Zealand.
Accordingly, the EFSC will be revised for cargo loaded from 20 May 2026, as outlined below:
| Container Type | Current | Effective 20 May 2026 Valid to 02 June 2026 |
| 20’ Container | NZ$164.00 | NZ$189.00 |
| 40’ Container | NZ$328.00 | NZ$378.00 |
The next review will be announced 20 May effective from 03 June 2026.
The EFSC remains applicable in addition to the prevailing Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF).
We sincerely thank you for your understanding and partnership during this period of elevated fuel cost pressures across all transport modes and remain committed to maintaining reliable coastal service operations.
Please contact your Pacifica representative if you have any questions.
