Maersk introduces PSS from Asia to India, Nepal and Sri Lanka

Maersk has announced the implementation of a Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) covering shipments from a wide range of Asian origins to India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, effective 25 February 2026 and valid until further notice.

The surcharge applies to cargo originating from China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Brunei, Hong Kong China, Taiwan China, South Korea and Timor Leste.

The destinations covered include Kattupalli and Visakhapatnam in India, as well as Nepal and Sri Lanka.

The PSS will be charged at USD 300 per container, applicable to all container types.

For non-spot bookings, the surcharge will be calculated based on the Price Calculation Date (PCD). For non-FMC trades, the PCD refers to the scheduled departure date of the first water leg at the time of booking confirmation. For FMC trades, it refers to the last container gate-in date for non-spot bookings.

For spot bookings, the surcharge will be determined based on the first vessel’s estimated time of departure at booking confirmation.

Maersk noted that the surcharge remains subject to other applicable local and contingency charges and does not affect any tariff filed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
