Due to recent geopolitical developments and market volatility, diesel prices in Thailand have increased significantly and are no longer within the previously stable range of approximately THB 28–31 per liter. As a result, our overall operating costs have risen substanctially. As fuel is one of the major cost components of liveaboard operations, these changes have had a direct and significant impact on business. Our current trip pricing was established based on a long-term stable diesel price environment. In order to ensure safe and reliable operations, we will introduce a fuel surcharge mechanism for all future new bookings.
