French shipping line raises fees after port tariff hike in Bangladesh
A September 14 gazette notification announced a 41-per cent average increase in service charges at the port.
France-based container shipping company CMA CGM recently announced an ’emergency cost recovery surcharge’ between $45 and $350 per container to be implemented from October 26, saying it was aimed at mitigating the impact of increased operational charges at Bangladesh’s Chattogram Port.
The Bangladesh Shipping Agents Association recently wrote to authorities urging them to reconsider the decision.
France-based container shipping company CMA CGM recently announced an ‘emergency cost recovery surcharge’ between $45 and $350 per container to be implemented from October 26, saying it was aimed at mitigating the impact of increased operational charges.
The CMA CGM surcharge will be $40 for a 20-foot dry container, $70 for a 40-foot dry container, $105 for a 40-foot high-cube dry container and $145 for a 45-foot high-cube dry container.
For refrigerated containers, the surcharges will be $40 for a 20-foot container, $60 for a 40-foot container, and $90 for a 40-foot high-cube container.
For hazardous goods, the surcharges will be $140 for a 20-foot container, $215 for a 40-foot container, and $305 for a 40-foot high-cube container, domestic media outlets reported.
The Bangladesh Shipping Agents Association (BSAA) recently wrote to the Ministry of Shipping and the Chittagong Port Authority (CPA), urging both to reconsider the newly imposed port tariff and its implementation timeline.
Exporters may not be directly affected by this additional surcharge as foreign buyers usually bear the transportation costs, but importers would be affected directly.

By aligning standards and rules in closely integrated areas, it will provide legal certainty, simplify trade in goods like medical devices and food products, and ease cross-border supply for businesses on both sides of the border.
Additionally, it will ensure more consistent rules for individuals who live, work or study across the EU-Swiss border. Switzerland will contribute to the development of legislation in the areas covered by the package and will have the opportunity to influence these rules as they are being designed.
“By modernising and deepening our ties across key sectors, from trade and transport to health and energy—we are strengthening legal certainty, fostering innovation and creating new opportunities for our citizens and businesses,” von der Leyen said in a release from the Commission.
The package includes updates to four already existing agreements, which already give Switzerland access to the EU internal market, regarding air transport, land transport, the free movement of persons and mutual recognition of conformity assessment.
New agreements on food safety, electricity, health and Switzerland’s participation in the EU Agency for the Space Programme were signed. A new agreement introduced a permanent and fair financial contribution by Switzerland to economic and social cohesion within the EU.
Apart from a protocol on parliamentary cooperation, the package includes also a joint declaration on the establishment of a high-level dialogue on the broad bilateral package.
