The recent surge in global energy prices—amplified by the evolving security situation in the Middle East and its impact on worldwide fuel availability—continues to place significant pressure on logistics and intermodal transportation markets. With approximately 20% of global fuel passing through the Strait of Hormuz, current developments have created an unprecedented cost environment affecting Landside (Inland) and Intermodal operations.
To ensure service continuity, safeguard cargo integrity, and secure sufficient vendor capacity across our network, A. P. Moller – Maersk will implement temporary, cost reflective energy/fuel price adjustments on Landside Transportation.
Effective from 16 March 2026 Maersk implemented an Intermodal Fuel Fee (EFS/IFS).
Current monthly starting from 1st of October 2026 by state are outlined below and will review monthly in line with costs & how the global situation develops.
- Victoria: +27%
- New South Wales: +27%
- Queensland: +27%
- South Australia: +27%
- Western Australia: +27%
Given the volatility of the current energy market, further adjustments may be required as conditions evolve.
We understand the impact these measures may have on your operations and remain committed to supporting your logistics needs through this challenging period. For any questions or guidance, please reach out to your local Maersk Sales representative you are currently engaged with.
Thank you for your continued partnership and trust in Maersk.
