Maersk Updates Price Calculation Date Rules for European Inbound Cargo
What Happened?
Maersk is updating its Price Calculation Date (PCD) framework for inland and fuel surcharges across 15 European destinations, taking effect 1 January 2027. The change applies specifically to Container Yard bookings where destination haulage is added after booking, shifting the pricing baseline to the import shipment creation date. Cargo booked under standard Store Door terms will see no changes to its rate calculation logic.
