FCL rates that appear on our rate grids are estimations and all rates must be confirmed 
by a Sefco sales representative. Rates and routing are subject to change and can change 
on a monthly basis. Sometimes we are made aware of these changes by the Steam Ship Lines 
(SS Lines). Sometimes the SS Lines will not say anything to us until we confirm a rate with 
them. It is their vessels and they can pretty much do what they want with them. 
<BR>
<BR>
There are many factors that can affect the pricing and routing such as:  
<font size=4>
<ul>  war, terrorism, and civil strife; </ul>
<ul>  the price of oil and other related fuels; </ul>
<ul>  the world economy and its influence by the world markets particularly Wall Street and the Stock Market; </ul>
<ul>  union strikes which can lead to slow downs and sometimes even shut downs at the ports; </ul>
<ul>  modernization of certain ports which can lead to the phasing out of other older or less used ports; </ul>
<ul>  supply and demand, if there isn't enough demand for a certain route the SS Lines will not hesitate to change or
even drop that route entirely from their schedules.</ul>

and how to proceed), please go to <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/fclfactsheet.htm">
