  Reconciled plan and pricing surface for Maersk APIs and services. Most APIs
  on developer.maersk.com are free at the request layer for registered
  customers; commercial value is settled on the underlying shipping or
  logistics contract (ocean freight, surcharges, demurrage and detention,
  warehousing, customs, etc.). Pricing here captures the commercial-contract
  surface that Maersk APIs reference rather than per-API fees.
