Maersk notified customers that it is revising the Terminal Handling Service – Origin/ Destination (OHC/DHC) for cargo moving between Ukraine and the rest of the world, effective from 01-October-2025 until further notice.
The notice lists four new terminal-handling rates: for shipments from Ukraine to world destinations, OHC is USD 295 for “all 20 dry containers” and USD 355 for “all 40 dry containers”; for shipments from the world to Ukraine, DHC is USD 345 for “all 20 dry containers” and USD 390 for “all 40 dry containers.”
The company specifies that for non-SPOT bookings the “above rate is retrieved based on PCD,” where PCD is the “Price Calculation Date.”
For non-FMC traffic, PCD is the scheduled departure date of the first water leg at time of booking confirmation; for FMC traffic, PCD is the last container gate-in date.
For SPOT bookings, the rate is “retrieved based on 1st vessel ETD at booking confirmation.”
For reference, Maersk provides sample pricing valid from 01-Oct-25 “until further notice” on the Chornomorsk, UA → Jawaharlal Nehru, IN corridor.
