As a result of Presidential decree No 921 issued by Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa on Feb 20, 2008, many of the ships and yachts in Galapagos will be implementing a “fuel surcharge” to the 2008 rates to cover the increase in the cost of diesel fuel. The increase in the cost of fuel only affects those vessels that consume more than 4000 gallons of fuel per month. The decree eliminates a previous government subsidy on fuel in the Galapagos Islands.
