Environmental Fuel Fee (EFF)

Maersk will review the tariff for Environmental Fuel Fee (EFF) only for North Europe and Mediterranean trades, w.e.f. 1st October 2023. Also find attached Intra Asia EFF rates for 1st Oct 2023. This would be applicable to:

• Intra Europe & Asia Spot and all contracts with validity up to one month
• All bookings (including Intra Europe & Asia Spot) with ETD effective 01 October 2023 onwards until further notice

The EFF tariffs have been reviewed using the price development of Platts fuel price index of 0,5% Sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and looking into the trigger communicated previously (changes of more than 50 USD/TON – up or down – compared to the last tariff adjustment).

For Intra Europe, the price difference between the two periods is 70,91 USD/TON.* The details on the period used for the calculation of the EFF levels can be found in the table below.
