The Global Shipping Crisis: Navigating Record-High Freight Challenges
The international trade landscape is currently facing a period of unprecedented volatility. At Hammas Molasses Co., we believe in complete transparency with our global partners. Today, we want to address the "elephant in the room": the skyrocketing costs of global logistics.

The "Ultra-Peak" of Freight History
We are witnessing a historical surge in ocean freight charges. To give you a clear picture of the scale: shipping routes that previously cost $100 USD have now surged to as high as $800 USD. This is not just a marginal increase; it is an eight-fold jump driven by global geopolitical tensions and container shortages.
Why are Quotations Increasing?
Our team works tirelessly to negotiate the best possible rates. However, due to the scarcity of available containers and the extreme "peakest" point of freight history, the quotations you are receiving may seem over-expensive.
Container Scarcity: Securing a box at Karachi Port has become a daily battle.
Fuel Surcharges: Global energy crises are being directly passed onto the shipping lines.
Our Solution: Empowering Our Clients
At Hammas Molasses Co., we want to ensure your supply chain remains viable. To help you manage these costs, we are offering two primary paths:
FOB (Free On Board) Basis: We highly recommend our clients consider taking delivery on an FOB Karachi basis. This allows you to use your own logistics partners and forwarders who might have pre-negotiated volume contracts.
CNF/CIF at Actual Cost: If you prefer us to handle shipping, please understand that we are passing through the direct actual costs without any markup. We bear the logistical stress so you don't have to, but the market price must be met to ensure delivery.
The Path Forward
We value your partnership and understand that these prices are difficult to absorb. We are monitoring the situation daily, hoping for a market correction. Until then, letβs work together to find the most cost-effective way to get our premium Sugar, Molasses, and Bagasse to your facility.
Thank you for your continued trust and cooperation during these challenging times.
