Based on the "Diesel-Oel Information (Industrial Consumers)" published by Federal Statistical Office in Germany.
The Federal Statistical Office updates its information about the price development of diesel fuel for industrial consumers regularily.
The determination of the monthly price changes is made on the 15th of each month with a representative choice of business companies.
The specifications are quoted in EURO / 100 L without VAT.
Link: Website of bgl-ev.de - diesel price information as pdf (german)
The average price of the previous month is the basis for the calculation of the diesel-oel surcharge for the next month.
I.e. the average price for January, as reported in Feburary, is the basis for the calculated surcharge for March.
Bunker-surchage based on CBRB-Index
The average fuel price as per CBRB in month ‘A’ will be the basis for the fuel surcharge in month ‘C’. I.e. the January price will be the basis for the surcharge in March. The February price will be the basis for the surcharge in April etc. etc.
