Maersk restricts SOC exports from Hungary to Far East Asia

Maersk has stopped accepting bookings that combine Shipper Owned Containers (SOC) with its inland services from Hungary to Far East Asia.

The restriction takes effect immediately and covers destinations within the E2/E scope.

Maersk introduced the measure because of limited inland network capacity. The carrier also needs to prioritise the repositioning of its own equipment.

Affected inland services

The restriction applies to all export inland products originating in Hungary, including:

• Rail and RCO combinations
• CY Budapest/Fenyeslitke Container Yard solutions
• Store Door solutions

Ocean-only services remain available

Customers can continue arranging their own transport to the relevant seaport. They may then use Maersk’s ocean-only services, subject to applicable commercial approvals and tariff conditions.

However, Maersk will review any exception request before approval. Its Product and Equipment teams must authorise exceptions in advance.
