The new surcharge will take effect from September 21, 2026, according to CMA CGM’s latest rate advisory. The charge applies to cargo moving from North European origins to destinations across the Indian Subcontinent.   The measure comes as carriers continue to adjust pricing across major trade routes amid changing demand, vessel deployment and operating costs. The Indian Subcontinent–Europe corridor has also been affected by ongoing disruptions and changes in routing patterns across the Red Sea and Suez Canal.      For exporters and importers, the additional $100 per TEU will increase the overall ocean freight cost for affected shipments. Freight forwarders and shippers are expected to factor the surcharge into quotations and shipment planning from the effective date.      CMA CGM has been actively revising surcharges across several global trades in September, reflecting rapidly changing market conditions. The carrier has also issued other recent Peak Season Surcharge notices covering Europe and India-related services.     The latest PSS highlights continued rate volatility in the container shipping market, with carriers using temporary surcharges to manage capacity and cost pressures during periods of stronger demand.
