Maersk global shipping and capacity updates

Overview

Maersk has implemented several operational and pricing adjustments across international markets. In early September 2026, the carrier announced increases in shipping and fuel surcharges in various regions, including Croatia, Cyprus, and North Macedonia, citing rising energy costs and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. In Brazil, the company also revised local charges for optional services due to inflation.

Simultaneously, Maersk has moved to expand its Mediterranean Sea capacity. The company integrated the vessel AS Petronia into its SLN service, connecting ports such as Algeciras, Casablanca, Tanger Med, Mersin, Haifa, Alexandria, Valencia, and Barcelona. This expansion is intended to strengthen trade links between the Western Mediterranean and markets in Turkey, Israel, and Egypt.
