CMA CGM to levy congestion surcharge on reefer cargo at Dalian port

CMA CGM informed its customers that operations at the Dalian Port terminal in China and container collection have been slow. Consequently, most of the reefer plugs in the port container terminal yards are already occupied, forcing the company to divert refrigerated cargo to other ports. To cover additional costs, CMA CGM will apply a port-congestion surcharge for reefer cargo beginning on February 11, 2021 (loading date), for all shipments to Dalian, China in the amount of USD 1,250 per container (payment as shipping). For units in transit and those that have already been redirected, a specific surcharge will be calculated at the time of recharge, as soon as space is available at these terminals. According to the owner, the local office will contact customers whose cargo has been affected, and provide details. In addition, the related costs will be borne by the consignee at the time of delivery.
