Heavy Load Surcharge will be applicable to all Ocean products including contract products, SPOT, Maersk Go, and others.

  • The above rates are also subject to other applicable surcharges, including local charges and contingency charges.
  • These rates are unaffected by, and do not affect, any tariff notified, published, or filed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
  • For trades subject to the US Shipping Act or the China Maritime Regulations, quotations or surcharges that vary from the Maersk Line tariff shall not be binding on Maersk Line unless included in a service contract or service contract amendment that has been filed with the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) or the Shanghai Shipping Exchange, as applicable.

    • If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our local representatives on Maersk.com.

    We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing working with you in the future.
