U.S. & Canada Emergency Intermodal Fuel Surcharge Implementation Container Yards and Inland Rail Ramps

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has had a considerable impact on the international fuel market. As a result, many refineries within the region are either offline or operating at reduced capacity, and export ability is very limited. This circumstance has led to substantial disruptions in global fuel supply chains and inland solutions across the United States and Canada.

Due to recent fluctuations in fuel supply and increased distribution costs, we will be implementing a temporary add-on for situations in which Maersk is responsible for transit to, from, or over an inland rail ramp or container yard in the United States or Canada. For FMC and Non-FMC shipments with a price calculation date on April 18 or after, the add-on will be $100 USD per container, subject to applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

The $100 USD per container fee will be added to the ocean Emergency Bunker Fuel fee and appear as one total Emergency Bunker Fuel fee on your invoice. For cargo moving over an inland CY location or Rail Ramp to/from a SD location for receipt or delivery, an intermodal fuel surcharge previously announced will apply in addition to this fee. You can review the United States Inland Fuel Surcharge update and Canada Inland Fuel Surcharge update for full details.

Due to the fluidity in fuel prices, the add-on will be reviewed every 14 days based on the weekly average fuel price published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and adjustments will be considered based on the 14 day average.
