CMA CGM has announced a series of Peak Season Surcharges (PSS) applicable to multiple trade lanes covering shipments originating from Asia bound for Canada, West Africa, the Mediterranean and North Africa. The majority of the new surcharges will enter into force between 22 June and 10 July 2026.

For shipments departing from Taiwan, China to the East and West coasts of Canada, the carrier will apply tiered surcharge rates across three time periods:

15–30 June: US$2,065 per 20-foot container, US$2,530 per 40-foot container and US$3,060 per 45-foot container

1–9 July: US$1,800 per 20-foot container, US$2,000 per 40-foot container and US$2,530 per 45-foot container

From 10 July onwards: US$3,600 per 20-foot container, US$4,000 per 40-foot container and US$5,050 per 45-foot container

Effective 1 July, CMA CGM will additionally introduce a PSS of US$200 per TEU for all dry and reefer cargo transported from Northeast Asia to West Africa.

On the same effective date, the carrier will implement a PSS of US$1,400 per TEU for all cargo shipped from the Far East – including China, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia (excluding Timor-Leste) – bound for the Mediterranean and North Africa.

Additional surcharges will be levied on shipments from China and Southeast Asia to West Africa:

Effective 22 June, cargo transported from China to South West Africa (covering Angola, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Namibia, Gabon and Cameroon) will be subject to a surcharge of US$575 per TEU, while shipments to Mauritania will incur a surcharge of US$600 per TEU.

Effective 1 July, CMA CGM will replace the aforementioned surcharges with a US$200 per TEU PSS applicable to dry and reefer cargo from China to the Southern, Central and Northern ranges of West Africa. The same US$200 per TEU surcharge will also apply to short-term contract shipments from Southeast Asia to all destinations in West Africa.
