Maersk will introduce a temporary Emergency Inland Fuel/Energy Surcharge for inland shipments across several Nordic and Baltic markets.
The surcharge will take effect on 19 August 2026 and applies to Store Door (SD) shipments.
Maersk linked the measure to rising fuel costs amid the ongoing disruption to fuel supplies from the Middle East.
Surcharge varies by country
Seven countries are covered by the measure. However, the applicable percentage varies significantly by market.
| Country | Surcharge |
|---|---|
| Denmark | 10% |
| Sweden | 6% |
| Norway | 0% |
| Finland | 5% |
| Lithuania | 4% |
| Latvia | 11% |
| Estonia | 17% |
The highest surcharge will therefore apply in Estonia at 17%, followed by Latvia at 11% and Denmark at 10%.
Norway is included in the scope of the advisory, but its surcharge is currently set at 0%.
The rates apply to Store Door shipments with a Price Calculation Date (PCD) of 19 August 2026 or later.
Electric trucks and rail unaffected
Maersk said electric truck and rail solutions are currently not affected by the emergency surcharge.
The carrier will review the percentages every week and adjust them if fuel market conditions change.
The surcharge will remain in place until further notice.
