With changes in fuel prices impacting the transport industry, the fuel surcharge can rise, fall, hold, or not be applied, depending on the movement in fuel prices.
We regularly measure the difference between our current fuel buy price and a base price established when the surcharge was introduced. The fuel surcharge for StarTrack services reflects a weighting of our direct and indirect fuel-related costs to total cost and the monthly average of index spot prices for:
- National Average Diesel Price (c/litre incl. GST) located on the Australian Institute of Petroleum website
- US Gulf Coast Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel located on the IndexMundi Commodities website
The fuel surcharge below applies to StarTrack Express and StarTrack Premium (including International) consignments.
