Please find attached the notices recieved from DP World. Reasons cited for the increases by DPWA include "significant energy cost imposts" and "property and rent related cost increases".

TCF understanding the impact this surcharge will have and unfortunately will need to pass this cost on to our clients once it comes into effect.
