Logistics firm CMA CGM applies port congestion surcharge in Brazil

Logistics firm CMA CGM said it would apply a $150 surcharge per outgoing container from Brazil’s port of Paranagua starting on July 1, according to a statement published on Tuesday on its website.

The firm cited congestion currently occurring in Paranagua as a reason for the move, which highlights logistical challenges faced by Brazil.

The surcharge will apply to cargo headed to destinations including the U.S. East Coast, U.S. Gulf, Canada, Mexico, and Central America, among others, the statement said.
