French shipping and logistics company CMA CGM will introduce an emergency bunker surcharge from August 1, citing rising fuel costs triggered by renewed tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. The company said the recent escalation in hostilities has pushed fuel prices sharply higher, reversing the decline seen in recent weeks and increasing the cost of ocean freight worldwide. The temporary surcharge will range from $65 to $165 per container, depending on the trade route, and will remain in effect until further notice.
