Marseille-based CMA CGM is increasing Mediterranean-Latin America peak season fee and plans to increase the peak season surcharge on shipments from the Mediterranean to Latin America from November.
The existing EUR125 (US$162.72) per TEU surcharge will increase to EUR150 from west Med ports (including Fos, Genoa, Livorno, Napoli, Algeciras, Barcelona, Valencia) to Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Belize, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Chili, Jamaica, Haiti, Curacao, Aruba, Cuba and Mexico.
The increase applies to standard, reefer, open top, and flat containers and to shipments from Lisbon, Leixoes and Vigo to the same destination countries only on CMA CGM's Medcaribe service, according to the \shipping Gazette.
