Maersk will introduce a Canada inland fuel surcharge of 24% on eligible container drayage services from 1 November 2026.
The temporary surcharge will cover both Carrier Haulage and Multi-Carrier bookings. Maersk will review the percentage monthly and may adjust it as market conditions change.
Canada inland fuel surcharge scope
The surcharge will apply to inland haulage between ocean terminals and the first transport node.
It covers the Canadian drayage leg of import and export shipments where Canada is either the origin or destination.

Maersk attributed the Canada inland fuel surcharge to higher global energy prices and fuel availability pressures linked to the security situation in the Middle East.
For non-FMC shipments, the Price Calculation Date is the estimated departure date of the first vessel shown in the latest booking confirmation.
For FMC shipments, the PCD is the date when Maersk or an authorised agent takes possession of the final container listed on the transport document.
When customers add the inland destination service after the cargo has departed from its origin, Maersk will use the import shipment creation date to calculate the applicable surcharge.
