Emergency Fuel Surcharge - Trade from Red Sea and East Africa to Northern Europe (inc. UK and Scanbaltic), West Mediterranean and Adriatic

Recent events in the Middle East have created significant disruption across the global fuel market. This has driven a rapid increase in marine fuel prices globally and has altered the normal geographic distribution of marine fuel supply.

As a consequence, this has reduced the availability of bunker fuel at many traditional sourcing locations, which are increasing procurement challenges and adding operating costs across our network.

As a result, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company will update the Emergency Fuel Surcharge (EFS) to all cargo from Red Sea and East Africa to Northern Europe (including UK and Scanbaltic), West Mediterranean and Adriatic.

As from 1 June 2026 (BL date) until 15 June 2026, the EFS will be charged as follows:

Trades	DRY/TEU	REEFER/TEU
From Red Sea to Northern Europe (inc. UK)	USD 140	USD 210
From Red Sea to Scanbaltic	USD 200	USD 305
From Red Sea to West Mediterranean and Adriatic	USD 100	USD 145
From to Red Sea to East Africa	USD 130	USD 195
From East Africa to Northern Europe (inc. UK)	USD 260	USD 390
From East Africa to Scanbaltic	USD 325	USD 485
From East Africa to West Mediterranean and Adriatic	USD 220	USD 335
From East Africa to Red Sea	USD 130	USD 195
