The surcharge will amount to $35 per TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) for all import and export cargo worldwide travelling to or from ports in the Black Sea region, reports ‘Kommersant Ukrainskyi’.
The company explained that the additional charge is being introduced to cover insurance costs and other expenses associated with the risks of operating in the Black Sea region.
“This surcharge is being introduced to offset additional insurance costs and expenses associated with the risks of operating in the Black Sea region,” states a notice to CMA CGM’s customers.
Which countries are on the list
The surcharge will apply to all shipments made via CMA CGM’s services, as well as those using third-party feeder carriers. The list of destinations includes, in particular, Ukraine, Moldova and the Central Asian states, which are served via the ports of Constanța in Romania and Poti in Georgia.
Terms and conditions of the levy
The company notes that for short-term contracts and one-off spot shipments, the surcharge will be applied in full. As for long-term contracts, the company has stated its intention to ensure full implementation of the surcharge as well, as these are additional costs borne directly by the carrier.
All current tariffs, surcharges and conditions of carriage, in particular the mandatory price components in accordance with obligations to the European Union, will be set out in the company’s relevant tariff documents.
