Please be advised that due to rising fuel costs, the carriers have increased the Bunker (BAF) on all cargo from North America to Australia. This will take effect June 15th, 2006. Therefore Vanguard Logistics Services will be doing the same with all FCL and LCL cargo on this trade. This will be effective for all LCL cargo received on/ after June 15th, 2005.

The new bunker for FCL cargo will be:

FCL - USD 442.00 per teu
(Previously USD398.00 per teu)

As a result the effect on all LCL cargo will be as follows;

LCL - USD 15.00 w/m
(Previously USD12.00 w/m)

We sincerely appreciate the support you give to us and we look forward to continuing to service your ocean transportation needs
