Due to recent unexpected and very significant increases in key factors impacting shipping operational costs in the Arabian Persian Gulf, Maersk is implementing an emergency risk charge globally that applies to all cargo to/from the Arabian Persian Gulf.

For exports from China , we will introduce an emergency Peak Season Surcharge (PSS). The surcharge will apply to all export cargo from China to Arabian Persian Gulf and it will be effective 10th July

The PSS tariffs will be as follows:

For your reference, we have also included the levels and rate structure for some sample corridors from China valid from today until further notice. These may be subject to future change; however we will make sure to notify you accordingly.

Notes:

• The above rates are also subject to other applicable surcharges, including local charges and contingency charges.
• The above surcharge acronyms mean: OF (Ocean Freight), OHC (Origin Terminal Handling Charge), DHC (Destination Terminal Handling Charge), ERS (Emergency Risk Surcharge), BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor), LSS (Low Sulphur Surcharge) and PSS (Peak Season Surcharge).
• 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 tariff shall not be binding on Maersk 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.
