Maersk has announced a series of pricing updates covering Brazil, Cyprus and North Macedonia , including revised local charges and inland fuel surcharges. The changes take effect between 7 September and 1 October 2026 , depending on the market. Cyprus fuel surcharge set at 12.5% Maersk will apply a 12.5% fuel surcharge on truck services in Cyprus from 7 September 2026. The carrier linked the measure to the situation in the Middle East and higher fuel-related costs. The surcharge is being reviewed weekly rather than monthly. Maersk said there will be no trigger mechanism during this period, with updates issued every Friday for the following week. The charge will appear as EFS for exports and IFS for imports . North Macedonia surcharge reaches 20% Maersk will also apply a 20% fuel surcharge on truck services in North Macedonia from 7 September.

The surcharge will be reviewed weekly and remain in place for as long as Maersk considers necessary to cover the additional costs.
