Intermodal Fuel Fee update in Ireland

The recent surge in global energy prices—amplified by the evolving security situation in the Middle East and its impact on worldwide fuel availability—continues to place significant pressure on logistics and intermodal transportation markets. With approximately 20% of global fuel passing through the Strait of Hormuz, current developments have created an unprecedented cost environment affecting Landside (Inland) and Intermodal operations.

To ensure service continuity, safeguard cargo integrity, and secure sufficient vendor capacity across our network, A. P. Moller – Maersk will implement temporary, cost reflective energy/fuel price adjustments on Landside Transportation.

Effective from 1st April 2026 (price calculation date) and until further notice we are implementing an Intermodal Fuel Fee (EFS/IFS).

The fee will be reviewed on a monthly basis, the value in Ireland from 1st April will be:

• Truck: 5.6%
• A higher rate applies for customers with bespoke pricing, this will be communicated by your account manager

Given the volatility of the current energy market, further adjustments may be required as conditions evolve.

We understand the impact these measures may have on your operations and remain committed to supporting your logistics needs through this challenging period. For any questions or guidance, please reach out to your local Maersk Sales representative you are currently engaged with.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust in Maersk.

(*) For non-FMC shipments, the price calculation date is the Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) of the first vessel shown in the most recent booking confirmation issued at the customer’s request.

(*) For FMC shipments, the price calculation date is the date on which Maersk A/S, or one of its authorised agents, takes possession of the last container listed on the transport document. For FMC, the Intermodal Fuel Fee applies from 20th April 2026.

(*) For containers booked on a port (CY) B/L, the fuel fee price calculation date is applied based on the delivery / collection date.
