CMA CGM has announced new pricing adjustments applicable to trade lanes covering the China-West Africa route and the Canada-Europe/North Africa route. These adjustments form part of the carrier’s continuous efforts to sustain reliable and efficient services amid volatile market conditions.

Peak Season Surcharge: China to West Africa

Effective April 16, 2026, CMA CGM will implement a Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) for all cargo shipped from China to the central West African region, including Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, Ghana, Togo, and Equatorial Guinea. The surcharge will be levied on cargo under short-term contracts at a rate of USD 800 per TEU.

Rate Restoration Initiative: Canada to Europe & North Africa

The carrier has also announced a Rate Restoration Initiative (RRI), effective on the same date, applicable to all cargo shipped from Canada to Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and North Africa. This initiative excludes shipments destined for Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, Greece, and the Türkiye Mediterranean region. Freight rates will increase by USD 50 per 20' container and USD 100 per 40'/45' container. This update supersedes and replaces the previous announcement issued on March 25, 2026.

These pricing adjustments align with CMA CGM’s strategy to stabilize freight rates while continuing to deliver dependable services for global shippers.
