As the peak shipping season approaches, freight forwarders like VERUS GLOBAL LIMITED are advising shippers to be aware of the latest developments in the container shipping industry. CMA CGM has recently announced a Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) on shipments from Europe to Australia and New Zealand.

Impact on China-Europe and China-Australia Trade

The introduction of the PSS is likely to have a ripple effect on trade between China and Europe, as well as between China and Australia. Shippers who rely on these routes may need to adjust their shipping strategies to mitigate the impact of the surcharge.
