CMA CGM has announced a series of Peak Season Surcharges (PSS) on several trade routes covering shipments from Asia to Canada, West Africa, the Mediterranean and North Africa. Most of the new surcharges will take effect between 22 June and 10 July 2026.
For shipments from Taiwan to Canada’s East and West coasts, the carrier will apply different surcharge levels over three periods:
- 15-30 June: US$2,065 per 20′, US$2,530 per 40′ and US$3,060 per 45′
- 1-9 July: US$1,800 per 20′, US$2,000 per 40′ and US$2,530 per 45′
- From 10 July: US$3,600 per 20′, US$4,000 per 40′ and US$5,050 per 45′
From 1 July, CMA CGM will also introduce a US$200 per TEU PSS on all dry and reefer cargo moving from Northeast Asia to West Africa.
On the same date, the carrier will implement a US$1,400 per TEU PSS on all cargo shipped from the Far East, including China, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia (excluding Timor-Leste), to the Mediterranean and North Africa.
Additional surcharges will apply on shipments from China and Southeast Asia to West Africa.
From 22 June, cargo moving from China to West Africa South (Angola, Congo, DRC, Namibia, Gabon and Cameroon) will face a US$575 per TEU surcharge, while shipments to Mauritania will be subject to a US$600 per TEU surcharge.
From 1 July, CMA CGM will replace these with a US$200 per TEU PSS on dry and reefer cargo from China to West Africa South, Central and North ranges. The same US$200 per TEU surcharge will also apply to shipments from Southeast Asia to all West African destinations under short-term contracts.
