en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hapag-Lloyd has announced the introduction or adjustment of inland logistics fuel surcharges for the Australia and New Zealand markets, effective from April 15, 2026, to address changes in diesel prices caused by fluctuations in the international energy market. According to Hapag-Lloyd's announcement, the new charges for trades not regulated by the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) will take effect on April 15, while those for FMC-regulated trades will become effective on May 15.

The specific fee structure is as follows: For import and export trucking in Australia and New Zealand, a surcharge of 8% of the origin or destination land transport cost will be levied. Combined rail transport will also incur an 8% surcharge, applicable to all container types. For import and export water transport related to the corridor between mainland Australia and Tasmania to Melbourne, a 2% surcharge will be applied.

Hapag-Lloyd stated that diesel, being a key cost component for inland transport and handling, directly impacts operating expenses with its price volatility. This adjustment aims to maintain the reliability and transparency of the logistics chain. Starting from March 2026, Hapag-Lloyd has already implemented an inland fuel surcharge of 8% for trucking and 4% for combined rail transport in the Portugal and Spain markets.

The company will continue to monitor energy market dynamics and optimize its fee structure based on diesel price trends. In addition to the Australia and New Zealand markets, Hapag-Lloyd had already imposed an Emergency Bunker Surcharge in March 2026 due to rising maritime fuel costs triggered by the Middle East situation. Major shipping companies like CMA CGM have announced similar measures during the same period.
