The marine fuel adjustment factor will be applied after any general inflationary factors have been calculated. This adjustment reflects NTCL’s increased cost of providing transportation services, and excludes any additional operating margins. This adjustment would be recalculated annually on February 1st and applied to the rates for the coming season.
HNS CARGOES ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
NTCL will transport hazardous goods for the standard northbound cost, plus the following additional fees:
- A flat administrative charge of $100, reflective of the increased volume of regulatory and compliance activities that are required
