CMA CGM implements congestion surcharges in Benin and Senegal

Due to existing delays, CMA CGM has announced new port congestion surcharges (PCS) from all ports globally to Cotonou in Benin and Dakar in Senegal.

The French carrier will implement a US$150/TEU surcharge on dry and reefer containers destined for the ports of Dakar and Cotonou.

The new surcharges will be effective from 15 September and payment will be made on a per-freight basis, according to CMA CGM’s announcement. The Marseille-based company noted that for cargo from the United States, US territories, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Panama, Venezuela, Argentina and Ecuador, the surcharge will go into effect on 5 October.
