Maersk moves in! Cyprus land freight surges 10%
2026-08-30

This surcharge—set at 10% of the base trucking rate—is implemented as an exceptional, time-bound measure to mitigate the direct impact of elevated fuel procurement costs on inland transportation operations. It will be applied separately on all relevant invoices under the designated codes: EFS (Export Fuel Surcharge) for export-related movements and IFS (Import Fuel Surcharge) for import-related movements.  

To ensure transparency and responsiveness, Maersk will conduct weekly reviews of the surcharge level—departing from its standard monthly review cycle. No predefined price-trigger mechanism will govern these adjustments; instead, updates will be published every Friday, specifying the applicable rate for the subsequent calendar week.  

The surcharge remains subject to periodic reassessment and will be discontinued once Maersk determines that prevailing fuel cost conditions no longer warrant its continuation.
