ONE introduces inland fuel charge for Latin America trades

ONE has announced the implementation of an Inland Fuel Charge (IFL / IFD) for inland transportation across Latin America.

Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced the implementation of an Inland Fuel Charge (IFL / IFD) for inland transportation across Latin America, citing ongoing disruptions in global fuel markets linked to developments in the Middle East.

The carrier said the evolving situation, including the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has significantly impacted fuel availability and distribution, with many refineries operating at reduced capacity and affecting global supply chains.

The new charge will apply to carrier haulage for both inbound and outbound shipments across all trade lanes and services involving Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.

The implementation will take effect from 2 April 2026 for non-FMC regulated trades.

For shipments to and from Colombia and Ecuador, as well as FMC-regulated trades including the United States and Canada, the charge will come into effect on 2 May 2026.

ONE said the measure is intended to safeguard cargo integrity and maintain network stability amid ongoing volatility in fuel markets and supply chain conditions.
