CMA CGM has announced a series of surcharge and rate adjustments across several trades, covering reefer, inland and dry cargo.<\/p>\n
The changes include a new Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) for reefers moving to West Africa, a congestion surcharge for Tema and an emergency inland fee in Europe.<\/p>\n
The carrier has also updated its PSS from the Indian subcontinent to South America and announced a Rate Restoration Initiative (RRI) from the West Mediterranean to Canada.<\/p>\n
Reefer PSS from Europe to West Africa<\/p>\n
From 1 September 2026, CMA CGM will apply a PSS of \u20ac100 per TEU on reefer shipments to West Africa.<\/p>\n
The surcharge covers cargo originating from North Europe, the Baltic, Scandinavia, the West Mediterranean and the Adriatic.<\/p>\n
Settlement will follow the freight payment terms.<\/p>\n
Congestion surcharge for reefers to Tema<\/p>\n
CMA CGM will also introduce a Port Congestion Surcharge (PCS) for reefer cargo moving to Tema, Ghana.<\/p>\n
The carrier cited congestion at the port\u2019s reefer yard as the reason for the measure.<\/p>\n
From North Europe, Scandinavia, the Baltic, Adriatic, West and East Mediterranean, Black Sea and North Africa, the surcharge will be \u20ac100 or US$115 per TEU.<\/p>\n
For reefer cargo from all other origins, the surcharge will be US$400 per TEU.<\/p>\n
The PCS takes effect on 25 August 2026. For the United States, US territories, Australia and Latin American countries subject to filing, it will apply from 20 September 2026.<\/p>\n
Low Rhine water levels trigger inland emergency fee<\/p>\n
CMA CGM is also introducing an Inland Emergency Fee as low water levels continue to disrupt barge operations on the Rhine and other European rivers.<\/p>\n
The carrier said reduced capacity, congestion and longer terminal dwell times are increasing operational costs.<\/p>\n
The fee applies to all transport modes for inland shipments routed through Antwerp, Zeebrugge and Rotterdam.<\/p>\n
For locations in Belgium and the Netherlands, the charge will be \u20ac50 per container.<\/p>\n
For locations in Germany, Switzerland and France, the fee will be \u20ac75 per TEU.<\/p>\n
For imports, the measure takes effect from 24 August, based on the discharge date. For exports, it applies from 1 September, based on the loading date.<\/p>\n
FMC-contracted cargo will be subject to the fee from 21 September 2026.<\/p>\n
The surcharge will remain in place until further notice.<\/p>\n
PSS maintained from Indian subcontinent to South America<\/p>\n
CMA CGM has also updated its PSS for dry cargo from the India West Coast, Pakistan and Sri Lanka to the South America East Coast.<\/p>\n
The surcharge remains US$2,000 per dry container.<\/p>\n
Until 31 August, it applies to all contracts.<\/p>\n
From 1 September 2026, the same US$2,000 surcharge will apply to long-term contracts only.<\/p>\n
Rate restoration from West Mediterranean to Canada<\/p>\n
Finally, CMA CGM will introduce an RRI for cargo moving from the West Mediterranean to Canada.<\/p>\n
The measure takes effect on 15 September 2026.<\/p>\n
It covers shipments from Italy, Mediterranean ports in Spain, France and Morocco. All cargo is included except out-of-gauge shipments.<\/p>\n
The increase will be US$250 per 20-foot container and US$500 per 40-foot, 40-foot high-cube and 45-foot container.<\/p>\n
Additional bunker, terminal handling, security, contingency and local charges may also apply to the affected trades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CMA CGM Puccini \/ Source: VesselFinder CMA CGM has announced a series of surcharge and rate adjustments across…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19387,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13062],"tags":[2213],"class_list":["post-68918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cma-cgm","tag-cma-cgm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
