Sudden rate hike! Is Maersk blaming operational costs?
2026-10-05

The revised rates apply uniformly across all standard and specialized container types. Specifically:

— Equipment Positioning Service – Import (POI): AUD 234 per container (previously AUD 210);  

— Equipment Positioning Service – Export (POE): AUD 234 per container (previously AUD 210).  

This represents a uniform increase of AUD 24 per container, or approximately 11.4% relative to the prior tariff level.

Maersk states that this adjustment reflects ongoing operational requirements—including infrastructure investment, terminal coordination, and service continuity—and is essential to sustaining the reliability, coverage, and quality of its end-to-end logistics network.
