Hapag-Lloyd has revised its Terminal Handling Charges (THC) in Australia and New Zealand amid rising costs imposed by terminal operators.

The updated charges are effective from 15 August 2026 and will remain in place until further notice.

Higher terminal costs drive THC revision

According to Hapag-Lloyd, the adjustment follows increases in terminal handling costs across both Australia and New Zealand.

The carrier did not specify the revised THC amounts in its announcement. Instead, customers can find the applicable local charges through Hapag-Lloyd’s THC tariff resources.

Meanwhile, Hapag-Lloyd said its Ocean Tariff rates remain unchanged. Bunker-related and security-related surcharges also remain as previously announced.

Peak Season Surcharges, where applicable, and other Terminal Handling Charges are also unaffected by this update. However, additional local and contingency charges may apply.
