    Maersk has revised its emergency inland fuel and energy surcharges for Store Door shipments across the Nordic region, citing elevated fuel costs linked to disruptions in Middle East fuel supplies. The temporary charges apply across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

    The latest rates took effect from September 9, 2026, and represent another weekly adjustment under Maersk’s temporary surcharge mechanism. The company said the percentages will continue to be reviewed weekly as market conditions evolve.

    Under the latest schedule, Denmark carries a 13% surcharge, while Sweden is subject to 9%. Finland has a 5% charge and Lithuania 4%. Latvia faces a 12% surcharge, while Estonia has the highest rate at 20%. Norway remains at 0%.

    The latest revision marks an increase from the previous schedule introduced on September 2. At that time, charges stood at 10% in Denmark, 6% in Sweden, 5% in Finland, 3% in Lithuania, 11% in Latvia and 17% in Estonia, while Norway remained at zero.

    Maersk said the emergency surcharge is temporary and will remain in place until further notice. The company is monitoring fuel-market developments and warned that the rates may change because of the volatile operating environment.

    Electric-truck and rail solutions are currently excluded from the surcharge, according to Maersk. The measure therefore primarily affects conventional inland transport arrangements covered by Store Door services.

    The continuing revisions highlight the pressure that higher energy costs are placing on inland logistics operations. For shippers moving cargo across the Nordic region, the weekly changes add another variable to transportation costs and planning.

    Maersk said customers requiring further information should contact their local representatives, while the company continues to monitor developments and adjust the surcharge when necessary.
