FRENCH shipping giant cma CGM is implementing a Bunker Recovery Adjustment Factor (BRAF) for vessels calling West African ports due to a rise in marine fuel costs, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The BRAF will come into effect on August 1 until further notice.
'This BRAF will be applicable on monthly basis for short-term contracts only (excluding any contract subject to quarterly floating BAF mechanism) to reflect the significant increase in the bunker rates,' said CMA CGM.
