CMA CGM has announced a revision to its Inland Emergency Surcharge (IES) for cargo destined for Mali via the Port of Abidjan.
Effective from 1 October 2025 (based on loading date) and until further notice, the surcharge was reduced to €250 per container, down from the previous rate of €1,650.
The revised surcharge applies specifically to shipments to Mali when the intermodal segment is handled by CMA CGM. Payment terms remain aligned with those applicable to truck moves.
The adjustment reflects improved inland logistics efficiency in the region, following a period of disruption that had significantly increased transport costs.
In August, CMA CGM announced the launch of its new service, KILIMA.
One month later, CMA CGM announced the acquisition of Freightliner’s UK intermodal operations, in a deal that includes its rail and road logistics services, inland terminals, and the Freightliner brand.
