The recent surge in global energy prices—amplified by the evolving security situation in the Middle East and its impact on worldwide fuel availability—continues to place significant pressure on logistics and intermodal transportation markets. With approximately 20% of global fuel passing through the Strait of Hormuz, current developments have created an unprecedented cost environment affecting Landside (Inland) and Intermodal operations.
To ensure service continuity, safeguard cargo integrity, and secure sufficient vendor capacity across our network, A. P. Moller – Maersk will implement temporary, cost reflective energy/fuel price adjustments on Landside Transportation.
Effective September 29th, 2026, for Non-FMC shipments and October 29th, 2026 for FMC shipments (price calculation date), and until further notice, we will increase the Intermodal Fuel Fee (EFS/IFS) from 14% to 20% for cargo transported via truck into Guatemala. This surcharge will be presented on invoices such as "EFS" (Export Fuel Surcharge) and "IFS" (Import Fuel Surcharge).
Given the volatility of the current energy market, further adjustments may be required as conditions evolve. We understand the impact these measures may have on your operations and remain committed to supporting your logistics needs through this challenging period. For any questions or guidance, please reach out to your local Maersk Sales representative you are currently engaged with.
Thank you for your continued partnership and trust in Maersk.
(*) For non-FMC shipments, the price calculation date is the Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) of the first vessel shown in the most recent booking confirmation issued at the customer's request.
(*) For FMC shipments, the price calculation date is the date on which Maersk A/S, or one of its authorized agents, takes possession of the last container listed on the transport document. For FMC, the Intermodal Fuel Fee applies from October 29th, 2026.
