A.P. Moller – Maersk

Maersk stated that the surcharge applies to all trade lanes to and from South Africa and covers both import and export container movements.

Maersk has stated that it is prioritizing decarbonized fleet replacement and integrated logistics to meet its strategic and financial objectives.

The surcharge applies only to non-spot bookings and is charged on a freight-paid basis, affecting pre-arranged shipping contracts.

Direct port calls at Port Said and Alexandria eliminate the transhipment delays common at Mediterranean hubs.

Companies that do not comply face potential financial penalties and high logistical costs from rerouting or returning shipments.
