CMA CGM announces a Rate Restoration Initiative

07 Aug 2012

As costs of bunker fuel, logistics and M&R continue to rise to record levels and to close the gap between breakeven and market rates, CMA CGM has decided to file a Rate Restoration Initiative (RRI) for reefer containers from the United States to Asia, effective October 1st, 2012.

The above Rate Restoration Initiative will be applied as follows:
Effective October 1st, 2012:

From US to Asia
+ USD 711 per 20’ RF
+ USD 1000 per 40’ RH

Expected rate levels for citrus and protein in the upcoming seasons will be as follows:

Concerning citrus cargo:
From US West Coast to Hong Kong
USD 3600 per 40’ RH & DTHC
From US West Coast to China
USD 3900 per 40’ RH

Concerning protein cargo:
From US East Coast to Hong Kong
USD 3500 per 40’ RH & DTHC
From US East Coast to China

While CMA CGM appreciates that this is a significant increase, it will enable the Group to maintain the service levels that clients require and allow the Group to continue investing in refrigerated assets.
