CMA CGM imposes peak season surcharges on routes from Central America and the Caribbean to Europe and the Mediterranean

2024-11-19

In response to the growing demand for shipping services, CMA CGM has announced a peak season surcharge on cargoes from Central America and the Caribbean to destinations in Europe and the Mediterranean. The decision, which will come into effect on December 7, 2024, marks a major shakeup in the shipping landscape, especially for companies that rely on these routes.

The surcharge applies to shipments departing from the West Coast of Central America, the West Coast of Mexico, the East Coast of Central America and the Caribbean. These areas are critical to trade and the new surcharge is aimed at meeting freight demand during the peak shipping season. The affected destinations include Northern Europe, including Scandinavia, Poland and the Baltic Sea region, as well as the Eastern Mediterranean, Western Mediterranean, Black Sea and North Africa.

Cma CGM's decision is in response to the ongoing volatility in global cargo shipping demand, which has been exacerbated by various economic factors and supply chain disruptions. By imposing these surcharges, the company aims to ensure that it can continue to provide reliable and efficient services to its customers while controlling operating costs.

Shippers and businesses in Central America and the Caribbean should prepare for these changes and consider their potential impact on logistics and pricing strategies. As the shipping industry continues to evolve, keeping up with these developments is essential to remain competitive in the global marketplace.

The high season surcharge is $200 per container and applies to drying boxes only.So the actual price increase is not significant. And this time only for the drying box notice surcharge increase, should have a certain relationship with the corresponding cost increase generated by the drying box.
