Maersk raises Middle East-Pakistan surcharge and updates European fuel fees

ProcIntel Risk Index (PRI) PRI indicates how much procurement risk attention a canonical event warrants, based on its potential impact, corroboration, linked-entity criticality, geographic or regulatory exposure, and confidence in the available evidence. — 27 · Low Freshness: Ageing Shows how recently the evidence supporting the event was updated. Freshness is displayed separately and does not automatically reduce PRI.

PRI: 27 — LOW Base risk 59/100 × Low confidence multiplier (0.45). Highest contributor: Linked-entity criticality 70/100, normalised to this factor's 30-point cap (+21 of 30). Limiting factor: Significance 46/100, normalised to this factor's 40-point cap (21 points below its maximum).

Confidence multiplier Confidence limits the final PRI when evidence is uncertain. A severe but weakly supported claim cannot reach the highest PRI bands.: 0.45 (Low) · Calculated 2026-08-12 11:23:49 (vv1).
