In order to keep providing you with our global services, Maersk is revising the weight threshold for Heavy Load Surcharge (HWS) application. We apply Heavy load surcharge when Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of the container exceeding 25 metric tons from Far East Asia to East Coast North America effective price calculation date on 1st Aug 24.

The tariff levels are as follows:

Route - P3E

Origin Destination Effective Date ALL_20 ALL_40 VGM
Origin
Brunei, China, Hong Kong China, Indonesia, Japan, Cambodia, South Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan China, Thailand, and Vietnam
Destination
East Coast North America
Effective Date
1st Aug 2024
ALL_20
400 USD
ALL_40
800 USD
VGM
>25 metric tons

Heavy load surcharge is applicable for all equipment types, including, dry containers, reefer, NOR, and special equipment. When Verified Gross Mass (VGM) exceeds the weight threshold, Heavy Load Surcharge (HWS) will be triggered.

  • The above rates are also subject to other applicable surcharges, including local charges and contingency charges.
  • 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 Line tariff shall not be binding on Maersk Line 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.
