Maersk has announced revised Emergency Contingency Surcharge (ECS) levels for exports from Salalah (Oman), Sohar (Oman), Fujairah (UAE) and Khor Fakkan (UAE) to a range of international destinations. The revised surcharges will take effect from 1 August 2026 based on the Price Calculation Date (PCD) for non-FMC trades. For FMC-regulated countries, including the United States, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Taiwan and Colombia, a 30-day notice period will apply, while Vietnam will be subject to a 15-day notice period. The updated ECS applies to shipments from the Gulf hubs to several key trade lanes, including North Europe, the Mediterranean, West Coast South America, the Caribbean, Central America, East Coast South America and South Africa. Maersk’s revised tariff differentiates between cargo originating from Sohar, Fujairah and Khor Fakkan, and cargo shipped from Salalah, with the latter generally attracting lower surcharge levels. Depending on the destination, container type and equipment, the updated ECS ranges from US$2,800 per 20-foot dry container to US$7,700 per 20-foot reefer container. The carrier said the revised surcharge schedule will remain subject to applicable regulatory notice periods and standard tariff conditions.
