Due to existing delays, CMA CGM has announced new port congestion surcharges (PCS) from all ports globally to Cotonou in Benin and Dakar in Senegal.
The French carrier will implement a US$150/TEU surcharge on dry and reefer containers destined for the ports of Dakar and Cotonou.
The new surcharges will be effective from 15 September and payment will be made on a per-freight basis, according to CMA CGM’s announcement. The Marseille-based company noted that for cargo from the United States, US territories, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Panama, Venezuela, Argentina and Ecuador, the surcharge will go into effect on 5 October.
