Maersk will revise its Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) for shipments from North Europe to the United States in response to continued strengthening market demand. The revised surcharge will take effect from 19 August 2026 and will remain in place until further notice. It applies to all container types, including dry, reefer and special equipment. The carrier has set the surcharge at US$1,000 per container for cargo moving from North European origins, including Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordic countries, the Baltic states, Poland, Ireland, the United Kingdom, France (Le Havre) and several other regional origins, to destinations across the United States. Maersk said the surcharge will apply to non-spot bookings based on the applicable Price Calculation Date (PCD), while spot bookings are excluded from the PSS. The carrier added that the measure is intended to support reliable service levels during the peak shipping season and will remain subject to its standard contractual and regulatory conditions.
