BAF is the abbreviation for Bunker Adjustment Factor. The maritime fuel surcharge. A carrier may apply a bunker adjustment factor to its freight rate to cover upward fluctuations in bunker costs.
Fuel prices fluctuate quite a bit, so shipping lines charge a fee called "Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF)" for fluctuations in global bunker prices.
Depending on the trade route and agreements between the carrier and the shipper/BCO, BAF may be charged separately or included in the freight charge.
There is no set formula for success for BAF; its success depends entirely on what happens with oil prices.
