The updated EFS rates—applicable to both dry and refrigerated (reefer) containers—are as follows:  

Northern Europe, UK & ScanBaltic ↔ Greece, Türkiye, Adriatic & Black Sea  

•  Dry cargo: USD 32 / EUR 27 / GBP 24 per TEU  

•  Reefer cargo: USD 48 / EUR 41 / GBP 36 per TEU

  
  

Northern Europe & UK ↔ Biscay, Northern Spain & Portugal  

•  Dry cargo: USD 15 / EUR 12 / GBP 11 per TEU  

•  Reefer cargo: USD 22 / EUR 19 / GBP 16 per TEU

    

ScanBaltic ↔ Biscay, Northern Spain & Portugal  

•  Dry cargo: USD 30 / EUR 25 per TEU  

•  Reefer cargo: USD 44 / EUR 37 per TEU
