As a result of positive customer feedback from the recent successful simplification of ocean freight surcharges, Maersk Line is now moving into phase II - the simplification of local surcharges.

In order to achieve a radically simplified surcharge structure for customers, Maersk Line will begin to implement phase II of this project - simplifying local surcharges starting 1st May 2013.

This is not about adding cost, it’s about making the cost of a container easier to understand and evaluate. Like Maersk Line, customers are continually striving to improve business processes and increase efficiencies. A simpler surcharge landscape enables customers to reduce time spent on financial administration and leaves them with a better understanding of what they are paying for.
