CMA CGM introduces reefer surcharge

9/17/2009 10:39:17 AM

CMA CGM and its affiliates Delmas, MacAndrews, ANL, U.S. Lines and Cheng Lie said they would introduce a "reefer consumption surcharge" on Oct. 16 in U.S. inbound and outbound trades and Oct. 1 in all other trades.   "CMA CGM and subsidiaries have so far not been billing the additional reefer consumption costs to their customers, having had a similar bunker adjustment factor (BAF) structure for both dry and reefer containers.    In order to have a more transparent and true segregation of costs between these two very distinct segments it has now been decided to make this an integrated part of our freight surcharges," the company said. The surcharge "incorporates the actual cost of fuel, and will be revised on a monthly basis, together with our general BAF levels."    American Shipper
