Every Major Carrier's Inland Fuel Surcharge, April 2026 Edition

Between March and April 2026, several major carriers published or updated inland fuel surcharge notices on top of their ocean-side emergency fuel surcharges. Rates, mechanisms, and effective dates vary by carrier and region. This post is a reference table cross-checked against carrier primary notices where publicly accessible.

Surcharges apply where the carrier provides the inland move (carrier haulage). If you arrange your own drayage or trucking (merchant haulage), the carrier inland surcharge does not apply — but your own haulier is likely passing through fuel costs separately.

Inland fuel surcharges by carrier and region

Carrier & region	Amount	Mechanism & codes	Effective
Maersk US inland truck	USD 140 per container	IFS/EFS. Applies when EIA 13-week diesel average exceeds $2.52/gal. PCD-based.	April 18, 2026
Maersk US + Canada inland rail / CY	USD 100 per container (in addition to base IFS/EFS where applicable)	Emergency Intermodal Fuel Surcharge. Applies to transit to, from, or over an inland rail ramp or container yard. Appears on invoice as one combined Emergency Bunker Fuel fee with ocean EBF. Reviewed every 14 days against EIA.	April 18, 2026
Maersk Mexico inland	5% of inland haulage	IFS/EFS as percentage of inland haulage; all modes.	April 1, 2026
Hapag-Lloyd North America (USA + Canada + cross-border)	Amounts published in Hapag-Lloyd’s USA and Canada local charges documents; rep-confirm for current levels	EFO/EFD (Emergency Fuel Origin/Destination). Separate inland fuel floater layered on existing FOI/FDI, which remains in place. Monthly updates. Structure allows for reduction or removal once US diesel stabilizes.	Canada truck: April 1, 2026 USA truck & rail / Canada rail: May 1, 2026
Hapag-Lloyd North Europe inland	Country-specific amounts published in Hapag-Lloyd’s regional local charges documents	EFO/EFD codes (renamed from FOI/FDI). Existing fuel surcharges (FSO/FSD) remain.	March 23, 2026 (non-FMC) / April 17, 2026 (FMC)
Hapag-Lloyd Ecuador inland	USD 35 per container, all container types	Emergency Fuel & Energy Surcharge (inland). Trucking only.	May 10, 2026 (both non-FMC and FMC)
ONE US + Canada inland	Per-container rates in ONE tariff appendix	IHD (Inland Haulage Destination) / IHL (Inland Haulage Origin) — replaces prior inland EFS. Covers truck, rail, and off-dock movements. Excludes Guam, Saipan, Puerto Rico, American Samoa.	April 18, 2026
CMA CGM Europe inland	UK: +4% Italy: +6% Netherlands, Belgium: +5% France, Portugal, Spain, Finland, Ireland, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Sweden, Estonia, Denmark, Norway: +8% (percentage applied on top of contractual intermodal rate)	Inland Emergency Fuel Surcharge (IEFS). Applies to inland trucking services. Door-Door product uses a separate mechanism.	March 18, 2026 (subject to regulatory filings)
TOTE Maritime Alaska	73.60% of inland/arbitrary rate (Item 346)	Tariffs STB TOTE 101-A and TOCT 402-A. Calculated against PADD5 West Coast diesel price (published weekly by EIA).	April 19, 2026
Seaboard Marine US domestic	Biweekly percentage — see Seaboard USDFS schedule	US Domestic Fuel Surcharge (USDFS). Applies to motor, motor/rail, and rail moves. Based on DOE/EIA weekly national diesel average.	Standing mechanism (updated every two weeks)

Figures above are drawn from each carrier’s primary notice where publicly accessible, or from the carrier’s local charges documents. Where a specific dollar amount is not publicly disclosed, the table indicates the publication the amount lives in. All figures should be confirmed with your carrier representative before applying them to specific shipments — carriers adjust these charges on cycles ranging from biweekly to monthly, and the published notice may have been updated since this article was written.

Carriers not in this table, and why

This table covers carriers with publicly available inland fuel surcharge notices. Ocean-side emergency fuel surcharges (EFS, EBS, New Bunker Fee) from MSC, ZIM, Yang Ming, HMM, OOCL, SM Line, and others are not included here — they are separate charges on the ocean leg, not inland. If you are not finding an inland-specific surcharge from a carrier you use, the ocean-side EFS may still apply, and your own drayage or trucking provider is likely passing through fuel costs independently.

What this table tells you at a glance

Maersk has the most clearly documented public structure. US trucking, US/Canada intermodal, and Mexico inland are each announced as separate notices with explicit mechanisms. If you have Maersk contracts and want to model exposure, the public notices give you enough to start.

Hapag-Lloyd restructured its inland fuel coding across several regions. The new EFO/EFD codes (Emergency Fuel Origin / Emergency Fuel Destination) replace regional FOI/FDI codes for global alignment. The layered structure — an existing inland fuel charge plus an emergency floater — is explicitly designed to be reducible or removable once diesel costs stabilize, which is a different posture than a flat surcharge.

ONE renamed its US/Canada inland codes. IHD/IHL replaces the prior inland EFS. The same contract-language question applies to both ONE and Hapag-Lloyd: if your service contract carve-outs reference the old codes by name, it is worth confirming whether they still apply to the renamed codes.

CMA CGM publishes specific European country percentages — UK +4%, Italy +6%, Netherlands and Belgium +5%, and a broader +8% tier covering most other Northern and Western European countries. The Door-Door product is on a different mechanism that was not publicly detailed at the time of writing.

Review cycles vary. Maersk’s US inland surcharge references EIA weekly data with biweekly review for the intermodal add-on. Hapag-Lloyd North America is reviewed monthly. TOTE Alaska is tied to weekly EIA PADD5 data. Seaboard is biweekly. There is no single cadence, which means “check once a month” is not enough if you are on multiple carriers.

What to check this week

Your top three carriers against this table. Each carrier applies a different mechanism, effective date, and update cycle. Operating on the assumption that one carrier’s rules apply to another’s bookings is where landed-cost surprises come from.
Carrier haulage vs merchant haulage on each lane. These table charges apply only where the carrier provides the inland move. Merchant haulage shifts the exposure to your drayage or trucking provider’s own fuel surcharge mechanism.
Contract carve-outs tied to old code names. ONE’s IHD/IHL and Hapag-Lloyd’s EFO/EFD are both rename events. If your carve-outs reference the old codes, confirm they still apply to the new ones.
IPI moves specifically. ONE’s tariff appendix applies to Inland Point Intermodal routing. If you currently route through inland rail points to avoid port congestion, re-run the landed-cost math before continuing on that routing.
Mexico, Ecuador, and Alaska. These are the geographic additions most likely to appear on invoices without being on your team’s radar. Maersk Mexico is already live; Hapag-Lloyd Ecuador starts May 10; TOTE Alaska stepped up April 19.

If your team is tracking exposure across multiple carriers and wants to see how the current surcharges land on your actual booking mix, walk through how ops teams set up multi-carrier surcharge monitoring.

What this table does not cover

Ocean-side emergency fuel surcharges (EFS, EBS, New Bunker Fee) and General Rate Increases. These are separate charges on the ocean leg.
Standard bunker adjustments (BAF, FFF, LSS, MFR). These run on normal review cycles and are not emergency surcharges.
Terminal handling, chassis, demurrage, detention, and port congestion surcharges.
War risk and Middle East conflict surcharges, which some carriers announce separately from fuel surcharges.

A single carrier-haulage shipment today may carry three or more of these charge types on the invoice. The inland fuel surcharge is one of them — knowing which line it is, and which mechanism it runs on, is the point of the table.
