Terminal Handling Service Revision – Origin/Destination (OHC/DHC) World to/from Argentina

Maersk is revising its Terminal Handling Charges (OHC/DHC) for all containers to and from Argentina.

The adjustment is driven by increases in port-related and operational costs. Consequently, Maersk will revise its freight structure to account for the higher terminal handling costs.

The revised tariff amount effective from 15-October-2026 until further notice is detailed as follows:

Non-SPOT booking – The above rate is retrieved based on Price Calculation Date (PCD).
For non-FMC, PCD refers to the scheduled departure date of the first water leg at the time of booking confirmation for non-spot bookings.
For FMC, PCD is last container gate-in date for non-spot bookings.

SPOT booking – The above rate is retrieved based on [Booking confirmation date or 1st vessel ETD at booking confirmation] for spot bookings.

For trades subject to the US Shipping Act or the China Maritime Regulations, quotations or surcharges that vary from the Maersk tariff shall not be binding on Maersk unless included in a service contract or service contract amendment that has been filed with the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) or the Shanghai Shipping Exchange, as applicable.

We review all surcharges regularly and you can find all surcharge updates here.
