CMA CGM is implementing a Freight All Kind (FAK) rate increase for shipments moving from Asia to the Mediterranean and North Africa. According to the ocean carrier, this pricing adjustment is designed to maintain reliable and efficient service across these critical trade lanes.
The updated rate structure will apply to cargo loaded at origin ports strictly between April 1 and April 14, 2026. Shippers booking freight on these routes should budget for the following new FAK levels:
20 Foot Containers:
- West Mediterranean: USD 4,300
- Adriatic: USD 4,500
- East Mediterranean: USD 4,600
- Black Sea: USD 4,600
- Algeria: USD 5,700
40 Foot and 40 Foot High Cube Containers:
- West Mediterranean: USD 5,700
- Adriatic: USD 5,800
- East Mediterranean: USD 6,000
- Black Sea: USD 6,000
- Algeria: USD 7,800
These revised rates apply comprehensively across the specified trade lanes. The origin scope includes all major Asian ports, discharging across the Mediterranean region and North Africa.
Furthermore, the new FAK rates apply to a wide variety of equipment types. This includes standard dry containers, reefers, out of gauge (OOG) cargo, and paying empty containers. Rates will be applied based strictly on the loading date at the port of origin.
