(航运/物流)燃油附加费:承运人因燃油(船用燃料,bunker fuel)价格波动而在基本运费之外加收的费用,常用于海运费率中;有时也称 BAF(Bunker Adjustment Factor,燃油调整系数)。
/ˈbʌŋkər ˈsɜːrtʃɑːrdʒ/
The bunker surcharge is included in the total freight cost.
燃油附加费已包含在总运费中。
Due to rising fuel prices, the carrier increased the bunker surcharge, which significantly affected our shipping budget for the next quarter.
由于燃油价格上涨,承运人上调了燃油附加费,这显著影响了我们下一季度的运输预算。
bunker 原指“储藏室/煤舱”,在航运语境中发展为“船用燃料(bunker fuel)”的含义;surcharge 来自 *sur-*(“在……之上”)+ charge(“收费”),合起来就是“在原价之上加收的费用”。因此 bunker surcharge 字面义为“燃油相关的加收费”。
