Heavy Load Surcharge (HWS) Revision Far East Asia to East Coast North America (P3E - FEA to USEC)

In order to keep providing you with our global services, Maersk is revising the weight threshold for Heavy Load Surcharge (HWS) application. We apply Heavy load surcharge when Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of the container exceeding 25 metric tons from Far East Asia to East Coast North America effective price calculation date on 1st Aug 24.

The tariff levels are as follows:

Route - P3E

Heavy load surcharge is applicable for all equipment types, including, dry containers, reefer, NOR, and special equipment. When Verified Gross Mass (VGM) exceeds the weight threshold, Heavy Load Surcharge (HWS) will be triggered.

• 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.
