Container lines forced to emergency actions amid continuing Yantian congestion
Jun, 16, 2021 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202125
CMA CGM is the latest shipping carrier to apply a port congestion surcharge (PCS) on the refrigerated containers which are expected to arrive in the Port of Yantian, as the congestion crisis in the region due to the Covid-19 outbreak is continuing.
Most reefer plugs have already been occupied, according to the French carrier which has implemented a PCS of US$1,250 per reefer box from 11 June, except from US & territories, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Venezuela, Uruguay and Paraguay, where the surcharge will be effective from 21 July.
“To ensure the reefer cargo remains in premium condition,” CMA CGM has recommended its customers change the port of discharge/destination. “Otherwise, we may be forced to divert your reefer cargo to alternative ports,” said the company in its announcement.
