Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced the introduction of an Emergency Inland Fuel Premium (IFP), effective in response to sustained disruptions to global fuel supply chains arising from the deteriorating security situation in the Middle East.  

The company cites recent developments—including the functional closure of the Strait of Hormuz—as key drivers of acute fuel scarcity and distribution constraints. Compounded by reduced refinery output and diminished export capacity, these factors have significantly amplified volatility across inland and maritime fuel markets.  

In light of this, ONE will apply the IFP to all carrier-managed inland haulage services, regardless of trade lane. The premium will be levied as a percentage-based surcharge on the base inland haulage rate, with applicable rates determined by country-specific regulatory frameworks and transport mode (e.g., truck, rail, or barge).  

This measure is designed to uphold service reliability, preserve cargo integrity, and ensure operational continuity across ONE’s integrated logistics network amid ongoing market uncertainty.  

Implementation timelines are aligned with regulatory requirements:  

• For non-FMC-regulated trades: effective 23 March 2026;  

• For FMC-regulated trades—including shipments to the United States (and its territories) and Canada: effective 16 April 2026.  

ONE emphasizes that the IFP remains subject to compliance with all applicable national and international regulations, and that final surcharge percentages will be published transparently via its official tariff platform prior to implementation.
