Maersk has announced new and updated temporary inland fuel surcharges in Mexico, Poland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, citing higher energy costs linked to the situation in the Middle East. The carrier said the measures are designed to offset rising fuel costs affecting inland and intermodal transport operations. In Mexico, Maersk will introduce a temporary 2% fuel surcharge on all inland services from 1 August 2026. The surcharge will apply to both import and export shipments and will be reviewed monthly. For Poland, the carrier will implement an Intermodal Fuel Fee from 3 August to 17 August. The surcharge will be set at 12% for truck transport and 6% for rail combined operations (RCO). Maersk said the rates will be reviewed every two weeks. The same bi-weekly review process will apply in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and the Benelux countries (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg). In both regions, the surcharge will be 5% for truck transport, 5% for barge and BCO movements, and 2.5% for RCO services. Maersk said the temporary surcharges are necessary to maintain service continuity and secure transport capacity as global fuel markets remain volatile.
