Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, Japan’s Ocean Network slapping on fuel surcharge for road transport
Inland part of intermodal freight covers all transport over land using modes such as trucks, and is typically bundled with ocean freight
THREE of the top 10 shipping lines are implementing a fuel surcharge for their land transportation services amid rising fuel prices, driven by the effective blockage of a key passage near Iran as the country retaliates against attacks from the United States and Israel.
This is on top of an emergency fuel surcharge that was announced after crude oil prices rocketed on concerns of a supply shortage from the Middle East.
A check of these players’ websites showed that Danish integrated logistics company Maersk, German shipping line Hapag-Lloyd and Japanese container shipping firm Ocean Network Express (ONE) have already applied, or will be imposing, a surcharge for inland transport services.
