Rate of Exchange can be found on the invoice itself which you can look up in our MyFinance tool.

In case you would like to calculate the ROE upfront, we suggest to use benchmark ROE (Maersk uses an independent third-party provider for ROE called Refinitiv as benchmark) and use our markup information which can be found here.

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.

For further questions or concerns, please refer to Maersk’s standard Terms and Conditions.
