The surcharge applies to all refrigerated container shipments originating from Africa, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, and the Indian Subcontinent, effective for vessel sailings with a scheduled departure date on or after 5 October 2026.

This measure is specifically targeted at reefer cargo movements to Tema Terminal and reflects operational constraints currently affecting port throughput and cold-chain infrastructure capacity. While Hapag-Lloyd has not publicly disclosed granular details regarding the underlying congestion conditions, the surcharge aligns with industry-standard practices for addressing temporary port-specific service challenges.
