Over the past months we have done our outmost to deliver your cargo whilst managing the current situation as best as possible. However, we are still experiencing a significant inflationary increase in overall operational costs in line with the global economic challenges.
Due to inflationary cost increases through 2022, the costs for handling cargo in terminals, have risen at an alarming rate since March 2022. Forecasters believe that inflationary costs will continue to rise through the remainder of the year as well as 20231. We understand that raising prices are adding to the economic burden, and it is not something we do lightly, but we hope for your understanding, given the global economic outlook.
To enable us to continue to connect your supply chain, Maersk wishes to advise you, that we will be revising the Terminal Handling Charge Origin / Destination (OHC/DHC) for both export and import globally, effective from 1st November 2022.
