CMA CGM Announcement: Port Charges - US East Coast & US Gulf Import/Export

Due to the significant increase in operational costs, in the event of labor unrest in the US East Coast and US Gulf Coast ports, CMA CGM (America) LLC will be implementing a Local Port Charge (LPC), effective October 11, 2024.

During any period of labor unrest, including but not limited to strike, lock-out, work stoppage or slow-down, LPC will be assessed on all shipments originating and discharging in U.S. ports.

In circumstances where the Carrier elects to invoke its Term 10 rights, no Local Port Charge destination shall be applied.
