Hapag-Lloyd has announced an update to its inland fuel floater (diesel) applicable to inland services in Italy, effective June 1, 2026. The adjustment reflects continued volatility in international energy markets and ongoing fluctuations in diesel prices, which the carrier identifies as a key cost component of inland transportation and handling.
The updated charge applies to export and import inland haulage from and to Italy across all container types. For shipments subject to FMC regulation, the surcharge will take effect from June 21, 2026.
The charge levels are set at 14.5% on truck transport, 8.5% on combined rail and truck transport, and 3% on rail-only transport, with the rail-only rate remaining unchanged from the previous level.
The tariff date for applying the charge varies by shipment type. For imports, it is based on the date of container pick-up from the port. For FMC exports, the tariff date is determined by the gate-in full date at the original port. For non-FMC exports, it is based on the vessel departure date.
