CMA CGM will introduce new Peak Season Surcharges (PSS) on shipments from Asia to North Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa. The surcharges will take effect on 1 July 2026 and remain in force until further notice. For cargo moving from Asia to North Europe, CMA CGM will apply a surcharge of US$1,000 per TEU. The measure covers all Asian origins, including Japan, Southeast Asia and Bangladesh. It applies to all North European destinations, including the UK and ports from Portugal to Finland and Estonia. The surcharge applies to all cargo types and to contracts with a validity of more than 30 days. For shipments from Asia to the Mediterranean and North Africa, CMA CGM will charge US$1,400 per 20ft container and US$2,800 per 40ft container. The surcharge applies to all cargo moving from Asian main ports to Mediterranean destinations. CMA CGM said local filing requirements will apply where required by law. The carrier added that, for shipments from China, the surcharge may be subject to filing with the Shanghai Shipping Exchange or included in ocean freight rates. The PSS will be charged in addition to applicable freight rates, bunker surcharges, terminal handling charges and security-related fees.
