Maersk has announced updated Intermodal Fuel Fee (EFS/IFS) levels across multiple European markets, reflecting continued volatility in global energy prices driven by the evolving security situation in the Middle East. The carrier said the adjustments are intended to support the continuity of its inland and intermodal transport services as rising fuel costs continue to impact logistics operations. Maersk noted that around 20% of global fuel passes through the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to increased cost pressures across the industry. The revised fuel fees will apply from 20 July to 3 August 2026 and will be reviewed every two weeks in line with market conditions. The updated surcharge levels are: DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland): Truck: 4% Barge & BCO: 4% RCO: 2% Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg): Truck: 5% Barge & BCO: 5% RCO: 2.5% Poland: Truck: 4% RCO: 2% Maersk said the percentages will be applied to the applicable IHI/IHE inland charges. The carrier added that the Intermodal Fuel Fee remains temporary and will continue to be reviewed on a bi-weekly basis. For non-FMC shipments, the surcharge is based on the Price Calculation Date (PCD), while for FMC shipments the revised fee will apply from 18 August 2026 .
