The liner industry is inching towards a collective solution on how to pass on the potential $15bn cost of low-sulphur fuel.
Maersk Line has emerged as the second operator to unveil plans to make shippers pay extra due to the higher price of low-sulphur fuel after 2020.
The containership operating subsidiary of AP Moller-Maersk unveiled its blueprint for a $2bn-per-year surcharge on Monday, less than two weeks after Hapag-Lloyd announced plans to pass on extra fuel costs of around $1bn to shippers.
