The surcharges apply to containerized cargo destined for Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Fiji, Timor-Leste, and selected Australian ports—including Townsville, Gladstone, and Darwin.

The PSS will remain in effect until further notice, subject to periodic review based on prevailing market conditions.

Asia to Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and selected Australian ports  

For shipments originating in Northeast Asia and destined for Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Townsville, or Gladstone, the PSS will be USD 300 per 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU) and USD 600 per 40-foot equivalent unit (FEU).  

These rates apply uniformly to both dry and refrigerated containers.

Higher-tier surcharges apply to cargo routed via Asia from Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, and Australia. For such shipments, the PSS will be USD 350 per TEU and USD 700 per FEU.

Asia to New Caledonia, French Polynesia, and Fiji  : A distinct PSS will apply to shipments from Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and the Middle East to New Caledonia, French Polynesia, and Fiji, at USD 250 per TEU and USD 500 per FEU—applicable to all container types, including dry and refrigerated units.

Asia to Timor-Leste and Darwin : A separate PSS will apply to shipments from Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and the Middle East to Timor-Leste and Darwin, at USD 225 per TEU and USD 450 per FEU—also applicable to both dry and refrigerated containers.

ANL and CMA CGM Group indicate that these adjustments reflect ongoing imbalances between ocean freight capacity supply and demand across the affected trades, particularly during the upcoming peak season.

All three PSS categories become effective on 28 August 2026 and shall remain in force until formally amended or withdrawn by the carriers.
