Maersk is revising its Terminal Handling Charges (OHC/DHC) for all containers to and from Brazil.
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 1-November-2026 until further notice is detailed as follows:
