Citing a pre-Chinese New Year "cargo rush," CMA CGM said it will impose peak season surcharges on services from Asia to North and West Africa.
A levy of $250 per 20-foot container will be applied to cargo moving from Asia to Algeria, Morocco, Libya and Tunisia, from Feb. 1, "in order to provide … customers with the same reliable and efficient services to which they are accustomed," the French carrier said.
In addition, a peak season surcharge of $200 per TEU will be levied between Jan. 25 and Feb. 24 in the Far East-West Africa trade by members of the Asia-West Africa Trade Agreement which includes CMA CGM.
