CMA CGM has announced a new Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) of $1,000 per container for all refrigerated cargo shipments originating from North Europe and destined for the Middle East Gulf. This additional charge will take effect on October 15.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this surcharge means an immediate increase in the cost of shipping reefer containers on this specific trade route. It is crucial to update pricing for clients and factor this additional expense into quotes for any refrigerated cargo bookings from North Europe to the Middle East Gulf from the effective date. Shippers should be informed promptly to avoid unexpected costs.
