Maersk updates inland fuel surcharges

Maersk is implementing an export fuel surcharge (EFS) and import fuel surcharge (IFS) of 5% on the base price across all inland routes, effective May 27, 2026. The move comes in response to rising global fuel prices driven by the ongoing geopolitical situation in West Asia.

The carrier says fuel costs represent a significant portion of line-haul expenses. The sharp upward trend in prices is directly affecting service delivery costs across its logistics network.

The surcharge applies to all inland haulage routes and is intended to partially offset rising operating costs while maintaining continuity and reliability of service.
