Recently, the two major shipping companies have announced a new Panama Canal surcharge on the Asian-East Coast route to respond to the implementation of a new booking system to "optimize the transit operation".
Since January 1, 2025, the Panama Canal Administration (ACP) will modify its transit booking system, including adjusting the charges, changes and implementation of new charging standards.ACP said that these modifications aims to "improve the level of service, reflect the value of booking services, improve supply and demand management, and optimize transit operations."
On December 26, the MSC Mediterranean Shipping issued an announcement notifying customers that in order to solve the increase in costs related to these changes and maintain a commitment to provide reliable and efficient services, MSC will introduce the Panama Canal surcharge (PCS).
Effective on January 1, 2025, affected trade routes: Southeast Asia, China, South Korea, South Korea and Japan to the East Coast of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. The charging standard is $ 40/Teu all types of goods.
Last week, CMA CGM also issued an announcement. From January 1, 2025, the "Panama Canal transit surcharge" was collected, "to recover this additional cost" and "continue to provide the most reliable service through the Panama Canal."
From the Far East (including mainland China and Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia), all goods are collected at 40 US dollars/Teu from the Panama Canal to the East Coast of the United States and the Bay.Related routes: CBX, GMXP, MANB, PEX 3, SAX, TWS, VESPUCC.
The shipper and the freight agent should note that Dafei's marine alliance partners may also introduce similar surcharges, because COSCO, Oriental Overseas and Evergreen, etc., because the affected services are the services of marine alliances.
Fast calculation found that a container ship with an average of about 12,500teu will receive a transit surcharge of about 500,000 US dollars, and a 9,000teu ship will receive a transit surcharge of about $ 360,000.
A new ACP measure is designed to prevent delay from canceling and not arriving. If the ship does not reach within 7 days of the scheduled date, it will charge a huge surcharge equivalent to 250%of the booking fee.However, ACP also introduced "the flexibility of increasing the exchange request", so operators can submit the exchange request for free for free at 14 days before the specified arrival time.With a reservation proposed within 14 days before arriving, a surcharge fee of 1%of the booking fee will be charged.
In addition, the company also launched a "last minute transit booking fee", which provides a choice for vessels that cannot obtain a booking period in conventional ways to reach the canal without reservation.Finally, the "ship dispatching fee" will be levied, "a ship that can not be reserved by conventional reservation systems but needs to be coordinated with the canal to arrange transit."
ACP said: "These changes will provide customers with greater flexibility and convenience, while ensuring effective use of canal resources."
