MTAB’s liability insurance for service and installation covers a maximum of SEK 10 million per claim.
The situation in Ukraine affects fuel prices globally in a very rapid and unpredictable way. Right now, fuel prices are at an exceptionally high level.
The transport price is revised each month with a separate fuel surcharge. The level of the fuel surcharge is determined by the average price of diesel in Sweden per month. We use Statistics Sweden’s verified index figure for diesel “K92SÅ0900” to set the current fuel surcharge.
MTAB adjusts the fuel surcharge once a month, based on the index figure two months prior to the current month. For example, the fuel surcharge for May is based on the index for March. The fuel surcharge percentages and intervals in the table are reviewed every year.
Current fuel surcharge:
2024-10: 14,75%
2024-09: 15,36%
2024-08: 16,23%

As a carrier, we at MTAB have carrier liability insurance according to NSAB 2000. This provides compensation for damages that we as a carrier are responsible for and provides compensation according to the weight of the shipment. In the event of other events during transport, you as a customer should take out object insurance – then your product is insured against possible external circumstances and damage.
- Carrier’s liability insurance is always included during transport.
- To be eligible for compensation, an investigation needs to show that MTAB has caused the damage.
- Transportörsansvarsförsäkringen är i enlighet med bestämmelserna i NSAB 2000, med begränsningen och undantag för §6 sr.2 och §27 punkt 3 st1
- In general, the level of compensation prescribed by law is max. SEK 150/kg for domestic shipments. The compensation only applies to the part of the shipment that has been damaged.
- Depending on the means of transport, NSAB may refer to applicable transport laws and conventions for road, sea or air transport. One example is the CMR Convention, which regulates cross-border road transport within Europe.
