Your partnership remains of the utmost importance to us and as your integrated logistics partner, our aim is to ensure that your supply chain moves with agility, connectivity and ease. At A.P. Moller – Maersk, we are continually keeping an eye on developing situations and reacting with the overall goal of ensuring the highest efficiency in your logistics operations.
Due to the current situation in Middle East and the increase on cost on the fuel component, we have to addecuate our fuel surcharge accordingly.
This is an exceptional measure that will apply during the following weeks. The way of calculation will be as per below:
Weekly review instead of the monthly review that we used to have.
No trigger will apply during this period
Weekly update every thursday
The surcharge will be in place for as long as it is necessary to cover the increased costs that we are incurring.
Surcharge codes will be presented on invoices as "EFS" (Export Fuel Surcharge) and "IFS" (Import Fuel Surcharge).
These are the values that will apply from 11th May till 17th May 2026 for Portugal:
Truck: 12%
Rail: 12%
Rail Combined: 12%
We will continue reviewing the situation on a country-by-country basis, making necessary changes to the surcharge as circumstances dictate. As a result, further increases may also be experienced but we will keep you informed of any changes as soon as possible.
We thank you for your trust and loyalty, and look forward to continuing to assist you on all matters pertaining to your logistical needs. Should you have any further questions, please contact your local Maersk professional. Our customer service and commercial teams are always available to support should you need assistance.
