The measures cover port congestion at Beira, overweight containers from China and cargo moving from the Far East to Réunion.     CMA CGM will introduce a Port Congestion Surcharge (PCS) of US$100 per container for shipments from Beira, Mozambique, to all destinations.     The new charge will apply to dry, hazardous and out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo from 15 November 2026. However, countries subject to filing requirements will have a later implementation date of 30 November 2026.     According to CMA CGM, congestion at the Port of Beira has prompted the measure. The carrier also stated that shipments remain subject to space availability.     The announcement follows an earlier Beira congestion surcharge reported by Container News in March 2026. However, the latest surcharge covers shipments to all destinations.     Meanwhile, CMA CGM will introduce an Overweight Surcharge (OWS) of US$300 for selected shipments from China to Indian Ocean destinations.     The charge will take effect on 1 November 2026 and remain in place until further notice. It applies to 20-foot dry containers with a gross weight exceeding 18 tonnes.     However, Port Louis in Mauritius remains an exception. The existing overweight surcharge of US$500 per container will continue to apply to this destination.     In addition, CMA CGM will apply a Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) of US$300 per TEU on shipments from the Far East to Pointe des Galets, Réunion.     The surcharge will take effect on 15 November 2026 and cover all cargo types.

For shipments originating in China, the charge will depend on applicable Shanghai Shipping Exchange filing requirements. Alternatively, CMA CGM may include the surcharge in the ocean freight rate.     Other charges, including bunker-related surcharges, terminal handling charges and local fees, may also apply.
