Maersk has lowered several Nordic and Baltic fuel surcharges for Store Door shipments, effective from a Price Calculation Date of 7 October 2026.

The temporary Emergency Inland Fuel/Energy Surcharge covers Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

Updated Nordic and Baltic fuel surcharges

Country Previous rate New rate
Denmark 14% 14%
Sweden 12% 10%
Norway 0% 0%
Finland 7% 7%
Lithuania 6% 5%
Latvia 17% 16%
Estonia 24% 20%

Estonia will record the largest reduction, with its surcharge falling by four percentage points. Sweden’s rate will decline by two points, while Lithuania and Latvia will each fall by one point.

Rates in Denmark, Norway and Finland will remain unchanged.

Maersk attributed the Nordic and Baltic fuel surcharges to higher fuel costs and supply disruption linked to the situation in the Middle East.

Electric truck and rail services remain exempt from the temporary measure. Maersk will continue monitoring market conditions and may revise the percentages again.
