Announcement of charges in relation to Red Sea / Gulf of Aden situation – excluding exports from Far East Asia

Due to the ongoing situation in the Red Sea, I would like to inform you of an update to the Emergency contingency surcharge.

The situation continues to cause industry-wide disruptions, including delays and bottlenecking at ports. We are aware of the challenges this is creating for our customers.

We are also experiencing industry-wide equipment and capacity shortages, as well as additional direct and indirect costs.

To continue meeting our customers’ needs, some surcharges will increase temporarily, as outlined below. These charges are effective from the Price Calculation Date (PCD) mentioned in the table below

Changes to the Emergency Contingency Surcharge (ECS) until further notice.

These changes are subject to any required regulatory approvals and notice periods, after which the surcharge will apply.

In this ever-evolving environment, surcharges are being reviewed regularly. You will see relevant surcharges on your latest invoices and we will keep you updated of any further changes.

You can find the latest information, including service updates and surcharges, on our dedicated Red Sea / Gulf of Aden page on Maersk.com.

If you have any further questions, please contact your local Maersk office. They are standing by to help and can offer more information on the options available to you.

Thank you for your understanding during this time. We remain committed to supporting you and your business with all your supply chain needs.

The rates apply to all OOG,SOC and NOR containers also. So 40 Flat/Open/NOR will have the same rate as 40 Dry.

As of 19 December2023, Maersk announced that all its vessels will be temporarily diverted around the Cape of Good Hope due to the situation in the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden.

As we shared in our 6 May update, the complexity of the situation in Red Sea and the ripple effects on global supply chains have intensified in recent months causing industry-wide disruptions

Despite hopes that the situation would improve, we continue to face additional challenges and costs. These include but are not limited to the costs of the longer journeys and increased sailing speed to make up for delays. This has led to additional fuel costs and high charter rates, while operational bottlenecks have absorbed and reduced available capacity. We are doing what we can to add further capacity to our routes, in line with our customers’ needs. So far, we have leased more than 125,000 additional containers and have increased our sailing speed, as well as organised our fleet to enhance capacity where possible.

Consequently, some surcharges will increase temporarily, as shown in the table below. For the trades not mentioned, there will be no changes for now to the Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) and Temporary Disruption Surcharge (TDS) beyond those previously announced on 16 May.

If you have any questions, please contact your local Maersk representative.

On 5 January 2024, Maersk announced, that to prioritize the safety of our seafarers and your cargo, and in the light of the risks, delays and difficulties associated with transiting the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden, all its vessels will be temporarily diverted around the Cape of Good Hope for the foreseeable future. By temporarily suspending voyages through the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden, we hope to bring our customers more consistency and predictability despite the associated delays that come with the re-routing. However, this has ultimately brought about increased costs as we try to mitigate the severe disruptions and ripple effects of the ongoing situation.

As previously mentioned in our advisory, our teams will continue to evaluate the impact of the situation and review the surcharges depending on the circumstances. Basis the recent review, please find the changes to the Emergency Contingency Surcharge (ECS) for certain trades mentioned in the table below.

Maersk announced, on 5th January 2024, that to prioritise the safety of our seafarers and your cargo, all its vessels will be diverted around the Cape of Good Hope for the foreseeable future in light of the volatility of this evolving situation. By temporarily suspending voyages through the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden, we hope to bring our customers more consistency and predictability despite the associated delays that come with the re-routing. However, this has ultimately brought about increased costs as we try to mitigate the severe disruptions and ripple effects of the ongoing situation.

As such, the previously announced Transit Disruption Surcharge (TDS) will continue to be implemented until further notice. The additional freight and costs of carriage under Clause 20(a) of the Terms for Carriage and Clause 22(a) of the House Bill of Lading will apply to all bookings on the trades in the table below that are subject to diversion. This includes shipments already ‘on the water’ that have been or will be diverted. It will be presented as Transit Disruption Surcharge (TDS) on customer invoices.

In addition, due to severe operational disruption, Maersk is continuously having to apply Emergency Contingency Surcharge (ECS) as set out in the table below until further notice*. These rates are applicable for all bookings on all existing and new contracts from the price calculation dates mentioned in the table below and are subject to any required regulatory approvals and notice periods. The price calculation date in most markets is the estimated departure date or the gate in of the last container of the shipment. You can find this date for your booking mentioned on the booking confirmation.

Our teams will continue to evaluate the impact of the situation and hope to withdraw or reduce the surcharges as soon as operationally feasible, however please note that they may also increase depending on the circumstances.

Please note that the rate applicable for Maersk SPOT and Maersk GO bookings have been adjusted to reflect circumstances at the time of booking. The current rate for TDS, ECS and PSS will not be added unless expressly stated in the price breakdown.
