CMA CGM has announced several new Peak Season Surcharges (PSS) covering trades from China and Asia to Africa, the Mediterranean and the Maldives.
The carrier introduced new PSS levels from China to West Africa effective 1 June 2026 for dry and reefer cargo under short-term contracts.
For West Africa Central destinations, including Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Ghana, Togo and Equatorial Guinea, CMA CGM will apply a surcharge of US$600 per TEU.
For West Africa South destinations, including Angola, Congo, DRC, Namibia, Gabon and Cameroon, the surcharge will be US$400 per TEU.
For West Africa North destinations, including Senegal, Liberia, Mauritania, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the surcharge will be US$300 per TEU.
CMA CGM also announced a new PSS for cargo moving from Asian main ports to Mediterranean ports.
Effective 15 June 2026 until further notice, the surcharge will be:
- US$900 per 20’ container
- US$1,800 per 40’ container
The surcharge applies to all cargo types.
Separately, CMA CGM introduced a PSS from the Far East to Male, Maldives.
Effective 28 May 2026, cargo moving to Male will face an additional surcharge of US$300 per TEU.
The latest increases reflect carriers’ efforts to raise pricing ahead of peak season demand and ongoing market disruptions.
