In an effort to maintain reliable and efficient services for its global customer base, CMA CGM has announced the implementation of a new Peak Season Surcharge (PSS). This adjustment specifically targets shipments originating from China and heading to the West Africa Central Range.
The new surcharge is scheduled to take effect on April 6, 2026, and will remain in place until further notice. According to the company, the measure applies to all types of cargo and is specifically directed at short-term contracts. The surcharge amount has been set at USD 500 per TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit).
The geographical scope of this update includes several key destinations within the West African region. Importers and logistics providers shipping to Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Ghana, Togo, and Equatorial Guinea will be subject to the additional fees starting from the effective date.
