Svitzer på kant med skibsmæglerne

En række skibsmæglere har modtaget brev fra Svitzer om, at Svitzers høje omkostningsniveau i Danmark nu medfører, at havnetaksterne bliver forhøjet og at aftaler om kommission ophæves fra 1. januar 2010.

"Brevet har skabt stor utilfredshed i branchen. Man føler ikke, at det store arbejde mæglerne gør for Svitzer bliver værdsat", siger adm. direktør for Danmarks Skibsmæglerforening, Allan Houtved, til maritimedanmark.dk

Ifølge Danske Skibsmæglere kræver koordinering med slæbebåde, kontrol og afregning, administrative procedurer og arbejdskraft - og de mange shippingvirksomheder gør et stort arbejde med planlægning og gennemførelse af skibsanløb.

Dertil kommer, at det er normal praksis, at medlemmerne betaler Svitzers faktura selvom betaling endnu ikke er modtaget fra principalen.

"Vores medlemmer har hidtil været stærkt loyale overfor Svitser, men den fremtidige markedsføring af Svitzer risikerer selvfølgelig at blive påvirket af den nye udvikling", siger Allan Houtved.

Det er dog kun i nogle havne Svitzer helt afviser at betale kommission - nogle steder reduceres den med 50 procent. Ifølge Danmarks Skibsmæglerforening er der også tilfælde af forskellige aftaler indenfor den enkelte havn.

"Jeg håber at de lige vender skråen endnu engang", siger Allan Houtved, til maritimedanmark.dk.
