Hapag-Lloyd has revised its Inland Fuel Surcharge (IFS) for diesel-powered inland transportation services in Italy, effective June 1, 2026. This adjustment responds to sustained volatility in global energy markets and persistent fluctuations in diesel fuel prices—factors the carrier identifies as critical drivers of inland transport and handling costs.

The revised surcharge applies uniformly to all container types for both import and export inland haulage movements to and from Italy. For shipments subject to U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) regulatory requirements, the updated IFS will become effective on June 21, 2026.

The surcharge rates are differentiated by transport mode: 14.5% for road-only transport; 8.5% for combined rail-and-road transport; and 3.0% for rail-only transport—the latter remaining unchanged from the prior tariff level.

The applicable tariff date is determined based on shipment type:  

• For imports: the date of container pickup from the port terminal;  

• For FMC-regulated exports: the gate-in full (GIF) date at the originating port; 

• For non-FMC exports: the vessel’s scheduled departure date from the port of loading.
