Maersk has revealed changes to its Dry Port Surcharge – Import (DPI) and Dry Port Surcharge – Export (DPS) for freight moving through its inland facilities in Budapest and Fényeslitke, Hungary. The new charges are scheduled to become effective on July 1, 2026, for shipments originating from or destined for non-regulated countries, and on July 13, 2026, for those involving regulated countries.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, these adjustments mean a potential change in the total cost of inland transportation within Hungary when utilizing Maersk's services. It is crucial to review the updated surcharge details to accurately quote and plan shipments, especially for cargo moving through these specific dry ports. Understanding the distinction between regulated and non-regulated countries for effective dates is also important for compliance and financial planning.
