In light of the Amazon Basin's drought history and warnings of severe weather this year, ONE has been closely monitoring the region's hydrological status. In this context, and with a focus on ensuring operational continuity, safety, and financial viability of operations, ONE will implement a Low Water Surcharge (LWS) for the 2026 season.

Following our Emergency Fuel Surcharge (EFS) update on 20 July 2026, we would like to inform you that ONE will update the EFS quantum on 16 Sep 2026.

Please be advised that the Heavy Surcharge name will be updated across all trade lanes and services with immediate effect until further notice.

Please note that effective 11th September 2026, Ocean Network Express will be adjusting the Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) on the Trans-Pacific Eastbound (TPEB) trade for all China origin shipments.  

In June, representatives from across the special cargo shipping industry came together at Breakbulk Europe in Rotterdam. At the ONE booth, our experts in Breakbulk and Out-Of-Gauge (OOG) shipments had many insightful discussions with our clients and customers. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, and in this article we will be sharing some of the key trends and stories that we picked up on.
