The updated rates will apply to the following services:  

• Direct trucking deliveries originating from or destined for German seaports (including Hamburg, Bremerhaven, and Wilhelmshaven);  

• Intermodal rail deliveries connected to those German gateways;  

• Direct trucking deliveries routed through the Port of Gdańsk.

  
  

Revised pricing will be reflected in all relevant quotations, tariff publications, and contractual agreements, consistent with existing commercial terms. Rate application will follow Maersk’s standard price calculation date logic, aligned with the ocean booking confirmation date. 

Maersk attributes the adjustment to multiple cost drivers across the inland logistics chain:  

• Escalating labour and driver compensation, vehicle maintenance, spare parts procurement, insurance premiums, regulatory compliance obligations, and fleet modernisation expenditures;  

• Rising infrastructure charges, including recent enhancements to Poland’s e-TOLL system and broader harmonisation of European road toll frameworks — particularly impacting cross-border freight movements between Poland and Germany;  

• Introduction of CO₂-based road toll components and expanded toll coverage for commercial vehicles in Germany, which have increased costs for both over-the-road trucking and first-/last-mile legs of intermodal transport linked to German ports.

In parallel, Maersk reaffirmed its ongoing commitment to strengthening inland logistics capabilities — including investments in dedicated trucking capacity, intermodal and rail network development, digital supply chain visibility platforms, operational resilience initiatives, and scalable low-carbon transport solutions.
