Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, and Ocean Network Express (ONE) are introducing fuel surcharges for inland transportation services due to rising energy costs and Middle East supply concerns. These fees apply to truck-based movements between seaports, warehouses, and distribution centers.
Maersk recently initiated an intermodal fuel fee in Singapore, with rates between S$50 and S$65 per trip depending on the location. Meanwhile, ONE is applying a premium ranging from 1% to 14% of haulage rates across all trades. Hapag-Lloyd and CMA CGM are also updating their emergency surcharges to manage diesel price volatility.
These adjustments are intended to offset increased operating costs for carriers as they navigate volatile global energy markets and logistical challenges in Asia.
