Maersk has responded to the U.S. Trade Representative’s (USTR) Section 301 policy by reaffirming its commitment to customer stability. While the U.S. government will begin phasing in new fees on maritime services by Chinese-owned and Chinese-built vessels calling U.S. ports starting October 14, 2025, Maersk says it will not levy any surcharge and won’t alter its port rotations or service plans.
The carrier pledges transparency and close monitoring of regulatory developments, assuring clients that it will keep them informed of any shifts. They emphasize their intention to minimize disruption throughout the transition and encourage customers to reach out to their Maersk contacts for planning support.
