Summary

All major carriers operating on the Far East-North Europe trade have filed fresh Peak Season Surcharges and FAK rate increases for June 2026. CMA CGM imposed a $500/TEU PSS effective June 1, Hapag-Lloyd set $500/$1,000 per 20ft/40ft from June 8, and Maersk applied $300/$600 per 20ft/40ft from June 10.
