As the peak season approaches, shippers are bracing themselves for the challenges that come with it. One of the key concerns is the impact of peak season surcharges (PSS) and bunker adjustment factors (BAF) on their container shipping costs. In this article, we'll delve into the latest developments and provide expert insights on how to navigate these changes.
Peak Season Surcharges: What You Need to Know
CMA CGM's recent announcement of new PSS for Mediterranean exports has sent shockwaves through the shipping industry. From 1 August 2026, out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo moving from the Mediterranean to the Middle East Gulf and Red Sea will incur a new PSS. This change is likely to affect shippers who rely on these trade lanes for their China-Europe and China-Australia container shipping needs.
