Maersk to implement tariff increase on imports to Central Europe

Maersk has announced that, effective Q4 2025, it will introduce a tariff increase of EUR 40 per container on all import shipments to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary.

The company said the adjustment is driven by persistent infrastructure constraints and rising operational costs across key European corridors, particularly affecting rail services. These pressures have increased the complexity and cost of maintaining reliable inland transportation.

Maersk noted that while it has worked to absorb costs and mitigate impacts, the tariff adjustment is necessary to ensure the stability and quality of its inland operations.
