CMA CGM has announced a temporary adjustment to its Freight All Kinds (FAK) rates for containerized shipments from major Asian ports to destinations across the Mediterranean region, effective May 15, 2026, through May 31, 2026. This measure reflects the carrier’s commitment to sustaining service reliability, network stability, and operational efficiency amid evolving market conditions.

The revised FAK rates apply uniformly to dry cargo, refrigerated (reefer), out-of-gauge (OOG), and paying empty containers. Specific rate levels are differentiated by destination sub-region and container type as follows:  

• West Mediterranean: USD 3,300 per 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU); USD 4,600 per 40-foot equivalent unit (FEU), including high-cube variants;  

• Adriatic Sea: USD 3,400 per TEU; USD 4,700 per FEU;  

• East Mediterranean and Black Sea: USD 3,500 per TEU; USD 4,800 per FEU;  

• Algeria: USD 5,100 per TEU; USD 7,200 per FEU.  

All rates are quoted in U.S. dollars, inclusive of standard ocean freight charges, and apply to shipments originating from principal container ports in Asia—including but not limited to Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Busan, Yokohama, and Singapore.

CMA CGM emphasizes that this tariff adjustment is part of a broader strategy to reinforce service quality, maintain schedule integrity, and support sustainable capacity planning across key trade corridors.
