CMA CGM has implemented revised Freight All Kinds (FAK) rates for containerized dry and hazardous cargo shipments originating from the Indian Subcontinent to key destinations across Latin America, North Africa, and Europe. The adjustments reflect ongoing market dynamics and sustained pricing pressures on major global trade lanes.

Effective June 10, 2026 (based on gate-in date at origin ports), the new FAK rates apply to services serving Central America, the Caribbean, and the west coast of South America. Among Latin American ports, La Guaira and Puerto Cabello are subject to the highest rates—US$5,150 per 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU) and US$5,500 per 40-foot equivalent unit (FEU). Kingston follows at US$4,150 (TEU) and US$4,200 (FEU); Caucedo at US$4,050 (TEU) and US$3,800 (FEU); Manzanillo (Panama) at US$3,750 (TEU) and US$3,650 (FEU); and Cartagena at US$3,500 (TEU) nd US$3,350 (FEU). Additional west-coast South American ports—including Buenaventura, San Antonio, Callao, and Guayaquil—are uniformly priced at US$3,300 (TEU) and US$3,250 (FEU).

These rates encompass base ocean freight and the Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF), but explicitly exclude terminal handling charges (THC), peak season surcharges (PSS), security-related fees (e.g., ISPS, AMS, ENS), and other local port or regulatory levies.

Separately, effective June 15, 2026—and applicable until further notice—CMA CGM has introduced new FAK rates for dry cargo shipments from northwest India, southeast India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan to North Europe, the Mediterranean, and North Africa. Rates for North Europe and the Mediterranean are standardized at US$4,500 per TEU and US$4,500 per FEU. 

North Africa commands the highest level in this group, set at US$5,500 per TEU and US$5,500 per FEU. As with the Latin America tariff, these figures include ocean freight and BAF, but exclude THC, security-related surcharges, and other destination-specific fees.
