The rate of exchange applied to invoices reflects Maersk’s cost of sourcing foreign currency from the FX markets.

Maersk uses the rate of exchange at the prevailing conversion rate on the date of issuing the first invoice for the shipment in question. The same conversion rate will be applied to any subsequent invoice(s) issued in relation to the same shipment. For import detention and demurrage invoices, Maersk will convert the currency based on the last available rate of exchange on the invoice creation date.
