Surcharges for transportation on DFDS Seaways Brevik - Ghent ferries

Hazardous surcharges

Surcharges for the shipment of hazardous goods (excluding class 1 & 7) are 45€/unit.

Surcharges for Class 1 (explosives) are unique in that the type of packing frequently has decisive effect on the hazard and, therefore, on the assignment to a particular hazard division. The five hazard divisions are: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5.   

  • 1.3 & 1.4: Substances and articles which have a fire hazard and/or a minor blast or a minor projection hazard (though not a mass explosion hazard), or no significant hazard = DSG +50%
  • 1.1, 1.2 & 1.5 Substances and articles that have a mass explosion or projection hazard = DSG +100%
  • Extra costs, such as attendance of fire brigade or any other special attendance, will be charged for separately. 

The Dangerous Goods surcharge (DGS) is not subject to BAF and CAF.
