Hej
Vi fick nedan meddelande beträffande all RORO trafik. En RORO bil kommer kosta ca 250-300 usd mer i framtiden. Detta innebär att det blir billigare att frakta bil i samlast container.

Dear Customer,
Following our letter of October 14, 2025, we can now provide you with the concrete surcharge in response to the United States Trade Representative’s (USTR) fees being imposed on all non-U.S.-built Ro-Ro vessels effective the same date.
The specific surcharge is USD 19 per weight/measure for all customers’ cargo loaded or discharged at. U.S. ports across all trade lanes.
Effective October 14, 2025, this surcharge is calculated to help offset additional costs resulting from the USTR’s actions. We want to assure you that our intent is not to generate any profit from this surcharge.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen has, from the start, voiced strong opposition to the port fees in our formal USTR submissions, and we continue to advocate for adjustments to the ruling to ease the overall impact.
We understand that this will bring an additional burden on you. Our goal is to further reduce the surcharge and minimize its impact. Our focus is on reducing its impact through close collaboration with you and operational adjustments to service and product.
Based on current projections, which may change, we anticipate that an adjustment to the surcharge can occur in Q2 2026.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to your regular contact if you have questions, need our advice in your planning, or need further information.
WLWH"
