Transfer of services
Entry capacity, exit capacity, quality conversion, wheeling and combiflex (cf. 4.6) are tradable. Hourly tolerance and cumulative tolerance (cf. 4.2) included in the transport can also be traded separately.
GTS offers the transfer of services by two types of transfer: transfer of capacity rights and transfer of usage rights. In the case of transfer of capacity rights, all rights will be transferred from the seller to the buying shipper, i.e. the entire contractual position including the usage rights. The capacity becomes part of the portfolio of the buying shipper. In the case of transfer of usage rights, the selling shipper will retain his contractual position and right to the capacity; only the usage rights and all related agreements will be transferred from the seller to the buying shipper. In both forms of transaction, the tolerance is automatically transferred to the purchasing shipper, in that the capacity is included in his portfolio.
In the separate trading of the hourly tolerance and cumulative tolerance included in the transport (only via the transfer of user’s rights), a temperature-dependent volume will be traded. The daily margin is not tradable.
A transfer will be reported to GTS via the online booking system GEA Click & Book (see 3.6.3) or via a form signed by both parties. This form can be found on the GTS website. Transfers are subject to a fixed fee per transfer. The fee will be charged to the selling party.
