Implementation of Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) from Far East Asia to South, East India & Nepal (F3W)

Ongoing vessel diversions around the Cape of Good Hope, ongoing hostilities globally, network disruptions, equipment imbalances, and selective capacity management have reduced effective capacity and tightened space availability on key sailings. These factors are expected to remain in place through the peak season period.

Freight rates on Asia to North America corridors have already shown significant upward momentum in recent weeks, with market analysts reporting continued upward pressure as carriers seek to restore rate levels and manage capacity constraints. Market indicators suggest further increases may be implemented as demand builds into the summer peak season.

Given the details outlined above, Maersk is revising the Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) for the scope of Far East Asia to Far East Asia to South, East India & Nepal with effective price calculation date from 15th Jul 2026.

• Far East Asia countries include Brunei, China, Hong Kong China, Indonesia, Japan, Cambodia, Mongolia, South Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan China, Thailand, and Vietnam.
