Maersk will apply the percentages to its Inland Haulage Import and Inland Haulage Export charges.
The temporary Export Fuel Surcharge and Import Fuel Surcharge have been in place since the Price Calculation Date of 16 March 2026.
Maersk attributed the measures to higher energy prices and fuel availability pressures linked to the security situation in the Middle East.
The carrier will review the Maersk intermodal fuel fees every two weeks as energy market conditions develop.
