BREAKING ALERT
March 16, 2026
Subject: Fuel Related Surcharge – Hawaii / Guam / Micronesia
Dear Valued Customer,
Due to a significant and sustained rise in marine fuel prices caused by global oil supply constraints, our ocean carriers will be increasing their Fuel-Related Surcharge. While our carriers source the majority of their fuel in the U.S. and do not currently anticipate supply disruptions, these price increases necessitate an adjustment.
Effective Sunday, April 12, 2026, the Fuel Related Surcharge (FRSC) will be adjusted as follows:
- Hawaii service: Increased from 16.5% to 20.5%
- Guam/CNMI service: Increased from 17.5% to 21.5%
- Micronesia service: Increased from 19.5% to 23.5%
If you have any questions, please contact your local office, our Corporate Customer Service Center at 800-488-4888 (Ext. 2020), your sales account executive, or email us at custserv@dhx.com.
Thank you for your continued support and your business.
David Bartelt
EVP, Sales, and Customer Experience
