Maersk raises intermodal fuel surcharge 27% in New Zealand from October
Maersk announced a 27% increase in its Intermodal Fuel Surcharge (IFS) for New Zealand effective October 1, 2026, citing global energy price volatility and Middle East security concerns affecting fuel availability. The temporary adjustment reflects rising transportation costs and will be reviewed monthly as market conditions evolve. The carrier implemented the IFS framework starting March 16, 2026.
