As covered in major newspaper headlines this past year, the price of oil has increased dramatically. In the same way, the price of marine fuel has recently reached historic highs. Fuel represents a significant portion of the operating costs of Antarctica expeditions. The ships load fuel in remote locations where there are only a few suppliers and they are unable to contract fuel rates in advance. Because of this, Oceanwide Expeditions cannot hedge against such fuel increases. The company has contingencies in place for unforeseen situations such as this, but what they face today is an extraordinary case. Please call us for any clarification or assistance that you may require. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during these extraordinary times.
