Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced its Europe Environment Surcharge tariff for the fourth quarter of 2026.
The updated Europe Environment Surcharge will apply from 1 October to 31 December 2026. It covers all contracts on non-FMC trades, FMC-regulated trades and shipments involving Canada.
ONE reviews the surcharge quarterly and may change the tariff with prior notice.
ONE expands surcharge coverage to UK cargo
ONE introduced the Europe Environment Surcharge on 1 January 2025 to address changing environmental regulations.
From 1 July 2026, the carrier must surrender United Kingdom Allowances for 100% of its verified greenhouse gas emissions covered by the expanded UK Emissions Trading Scheme.
As a result, ONE has expanded the surcharge to cover all cargo moving to and from the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the European Union Emissions Trading System entered its full compliance phase on 1 January 2026. Carriers must now surrender allowances covering 100% of verified emissions, compared with 70% in 2025.
The expanded emissions calculation also includes methane and nitrous oxide.
