Based on our ongoing equipment situation in Russia, we’ve decided that
with effect of 01.DEC.2009 we will implement a rate increase of

USD 550/900 per 20'/40’+HC to the current rates to St Petersburg.

The new rates will be effective 1st of December with validity until end of this year.

Furthermore we wish to advise that feeder operators serving St Petersburg (RULED)
have announced the implementation of a St Petersburg Winter surcharge
of EURO 50/TEU eff 1 Dec 2009 thru ‘til 31 Mar 2010.

As such , we have to pass this surcharge to our customers on the westbound
trade eff 1 Dec 2009 thru ‘til 31 Mar 2010 (Bs/L date) for all cargo moving to St Petersburg.

We thank you for your understanding and your continued support.

with best regards
