据3月23日Oil Monster消息：埃及苏伊士运河管理局周二表示，从5月1日起，将对往返苏伊士运河的装载原油和石油产品的油轮征收的附加费从正常费率的5%临时上调至15%。

它表示，双向过境运河的压载原油油轮和石油产品油轮仍需支付正常过境费的5%的附加费。

根据周二在其网站上发布的一系列通知，这些变化是“与全球贸易的显著增长、船舶经济的改善、苏伊士运河航道的发展和过境服务的加强相一致”。

对装载和压载液化气运输船、化学品运输船和其他液体散装运输船的加征费用也将从原来的10%提高到正常过路费的20%。

管理局还表示，对通过运河的满载和压载干散货船征收的双向附加费将由原来的5%调整为正常过境费的10%，而对其他船只征收的过境费则由7%调整为14%。

运河管理局的一份通知称:“这些附加费是临时性的，可以根据航运业市场情况修改或取消?！?/p>

苏伊士运河2月份收入增长15.1%，至5.455亿美元。

苏伊士运河管理局主席奥萨马·拉比3月1日表示，运河收入在过境费率创历史新高之后激增，有1713艘船只通过该水道，而去年同期为1532艘。

Egypt's Suez Canal Increases Tolls for Laden Crude Oil Tankers

Egypt's Suez Canal Authority said on Tuesday it will temporarily increase a surcharge levied on laden crude oil tankers and petroleum products tankers transiting the canal in both directions to 15% of normal dues from 5%, effective May 1.

It said that ballast crude oil tankers and petroleum products tankers transiting the Canal in both directions are still required to pay a surcharge of 5% of normal transit dues.

The changes come "in line with the significant growth in global trade, the improvement of ships' economics, the Suez Canal waterway development and the enhancement of the transit service", according to series of circulars published on its website on Tuesday.

The surcharge levied on laden and ballast liquefied petroleum gas tankers, chemical tankers and other liquid bulk tankers will be also increased to 20% of normal transit dues, from 10% previously.

The Authority also said it will change the surcharge levied on laden and ballast dry bulk vessels transiting the Canal in both directions, to 10% of normal transit dues, compared with 5% previously, while the surcharge levied on other vessels was amended to 14% from 7%.

"These surcharges are temporary and can be either amended or cancelled according to the maritime industry market conditions", a canal authority circular said.

The Suez Canal posted a 15.1% jump in revenue in February to $545.5 million.

Canal revenue surged after a record rise in transit rates, with 1,713 ships passing through the waterway versus 1,532 a year earlier, Suez Canal Authority Chairman Osama Rabie said on March 1.
