The new FAK rates are set at USD 2,000 per twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) and USD 3,500 per forty-foot equivalent unit (FEU), inclusive of standard 40-foot high-cube and refrigerated (reefer) containers.
Coverage applies to all origin ports across Asia—including Japan, Southeast Asia, and Bangladesh—and all destination ports in the North European region, encompassing the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and associated hinterland gateways.
The FAK structure covers dry cargo, out-of-gauge (OOG) shipments, reefers, and payable empty container movements.
These rates incorporate base port-to-port ocean freight and the Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF). Excluded charges—applicable separately—include Terminal Handling Charges (THC), EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) levies, Carrier Security Surcharge (CSS), Safety Surcharge (SS), and potential contingency or locally imposed fees.
This adjustment reflects CMA CGM’s ongoing commercial response to evolving cost structures and market dynamics on the Asia–North Europe trade lane.
