Hapag-Lloyd has implemented an Emergency Fuel Surcharge (EFS) for inland rail and combined rail transport services across Australia, effective 19 May 2026 for non-Federal Maritime Commission (non-FMC) trades and 19 June 2026 for FMC-regulated trades.

The EFS is applied at a rate of 20% of the applicable rail or combined rail origin/destination land freight charges, covering all container types for both import and export inland haulage services throughout Australia.  

This adjustment responds to sustained volatility in global energy markets and persistent upward pressure on diesel prices, which have materially increased inland transportation and terminal handling costs. Hapag-Lloyd states that the surcharge is designed to safeguard service reliability, operational continuity, and infrastructure investment capacity within its Australian inland logistics network amid ongoing fuel price uncertainty.
