Price calculation rules

For non-spot bookings, the applicable rate is determined based on the Price Calculation Date (PCD). For non-FMC trades, this is the scheduled departure date of the first ocean leg at the time of booking confirmation, while for FMC-regulated trades, it is the last container gate-in date.

For spot bookings, the applicable rate is based on the first vessel’s estimated time of departure (ETD) at the time of booking confirmation.

Reference rate structure

Maersk has also published sample rate structures for shipments from Los Angeles, United States, to Muara, Brunei, valid from 1 February 2026 until further notice, covering dry, reefer and special containers. These reference rates include basic ocean freight, documentation fees, and the revised terminal handling services at both origin and destination.

Additional conditions

Maersk noted that the revised rates remain subject to other applicable surcharges, including local and contingency charges. The adjustments do not affect, nor are they affected by, any tariffs notified, published or filed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.

For trades governed by the U.S. Shipping Act or China Maritime Regulations, any quotations or surcharges that differ from the Maersk Line tariff will not be binding unless formally included in a service contract or an amended contract filed with the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) or the Shanghai Shipping Exchange, as applicable.

Customers are advised to consult their local Maersk representative for detailed rate applicability and shipment planning.
