Dear Customer,
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has had a considerable impact on the international fuel market. As a result, many refineries within the region are either offline or operating at reduced capacity, and export ability is very limited. This circumstance has led to substantial disruptions in global fuel supply chains and inland solutions across Canada.
Due to recent fluctuations in fuel supply and increased distribution costs, we will be adjusting our Inland Fuel Surcharge (IFS/EFS) and Intermodal Multi Carrier Fuel Index (MCI). These adjustments will apply to non FMC shipments booked on or after April 10, 2026, and to FMC shipments booked on or after April 18, 2026 subject to applicable laws and regulatory requirements.. Additional adjustments may be required as conditions continue to evolve.
The truck Export Fuel Surcharge (EFS) and Import Fuel Surcharge (IFS) will be calculated based on the weekly average fuel price published by the Natural Resources Canada’s Daily Average Retail Diesel Prices. For rail, the MCI charge will be adjusted based on a weighted average of CPKC and CN fuel indices. This will be done under the following criteria:
- Intermodal Fuel Fee (EFS/IFS) for truck moves applied at 14% of the inland haulage. The average diesel price from the two weeks prior to the upcoming week will be used to determine any increase or decrease to the EFS/IFS.
- Intermodal Multi Carrier Fuel Index (MCI) for rail moves applied at 12% of the inland haulage.
If you have any questions or need guidance, please reach out to your local Sales or Customer Experience Representative. Contact details for all local offices are available on Maersk.com.
