A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) has set a temporary weekly review of its fuel surcharge in response to rising fuel costs linked to the current situation in the Middle East.
The move replaces its standard monthly review cycle. The exceptional measure will apply over the coming weeks, with no trigger threshold applying during this period and updates issued every Friday for the following week.

The surcharge will remain in place for as long as needed to cover the increased costs the carrier is incurring, with the situation reviewed on a country-by-country basis and adjusted as circumstances dictate.
Surcharge codes will appear on invoices as “EFS” (Export Fuel Surcharge) and “IFS” (Import Fuel Surcharge). For Macedonia, the truck surcharge will rise to 25 per cent, effective 31 August 2026.
For non-FMC shipments, the price calculation date (PCD) is the estimated time of departure of the first vessel in the latest booking confirmation issued upon customer request.
For FMC shipments, the PCD is the date on which Maersk A/S or one of its authorised agents takes possession of the last container listed on the transport document, with surcharges applicable from 11 June 2026.
For import shipments, where the inland leg at the destination port is hired later than cargo departure from the origin port, the surcharge price calculation refers to the import shipment creation date.
