Lite Ferries has announced that it will implement a 10% increase in its existing base tariff rates beginning September 23, 2026, citing the continued rise in fuel prices as the main reason for the adjustment.
In an advisory addressed to passengers and shippers, the ferry company said the fare increase will apply to its current base tariff rates. The adjustment comes as transportation operators continue to deal with higher fuel costs, which directly affect the expenses involved in operating and maintaining vessels.
“To our valued passengers and shippers, please be informed that a 10% increase on existing base tariff rates will take effect on September 23, 2026, due to the continued rise in fuel prices,” the company stated in its announcement.
Lite Ferries also expressed appreciation for the understanding and continued support of its passengers and shipping clients as it adjusts its rates.
According to the company, the increase will help support its efforts to continue providing safe, reliable, and comfortable travel to passengers while maintaining its transportation and shipping services.
The new rates will take effect starting Wednesday, September 23. Passengers and shippers who regularly use Lite Ferries are encouraged to take note of the adjustment and consider the updated rates when planning upcoming trips or cargo shipments.
Rising fuel prices have remained a significant concern for the transportation sector, particularly for companies operating vessels that depend heavily on fuel for daily operations. Changes in fuel costs can affect operating expenses and may lead transport providers to review their existing fares and charges.
Lite Ferries has asked customers for their understanding as the new tariff rates are implemented and assured passengers that the company remains committed to maintaining the quality and reliability of its services.
