en.Wedoany.com Reported - A.P. Moller – Maersk has announced that, effective July 1, 2026, it will update its fuel surcharge rates for land transport of goods in Italy. This move is based on continuous monitoring of the global energy market and aims to address ongoing fluctuations in international energy prices.

The new surcharge scheme will apply to both pure road transport and combined transport (RCO system) operations. Under the new plan, road trucking costs will see the largest increase, rising by 11% for both exports and imports. In contrast, shipments via rail or intermodal transport (RCO) routes will see a lower, fixed increase of 5% for both imports and exports. These adjustments will replace all previously published rate standards and will be reflected in customer payment documents under the abbreviations "EFS" (Export Freight Surcharge) and "IFS" (Import Freight Surcharge), respectively.

Given the continued high volatility of the energy market, Maersk emphasized that these percentages are not final and will be reviewed every two weeks. The company also warned that if oil market conditions continue to change sharply, further modifications cannot be ruled out in the near term. In a notice to customers, Maersk acknowledged that these measures may impact operations and pledged its commitment to ensuring service continuity, cargo integrity, and adequate capacity across its network.
