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 01 APRIL 2026 (price calculation date) and until further notice we are implementing an Intermodal Fuel Fee (EFS/IFS).
The Surcharge will be reviewed every 2 weeks
Here follows the value that will apply until next adjustment:
For Non FMC from 01 April 2026 PCD
For FMC from 23 April 2026 PCD
- TRUCK: EFS ( Export Fuel Surcharge ) +8 %
- TRUCK: IFS ( Import Fuel Surcharge ) +8 %
- RCO: EFS ( Export Fuel Surcharge ) + 3%
- RCO: IFS ( Import Fuel Surcharge ) +3%
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.
