CMA CGM has introduced a Rate Restoration Initiative (RRI), set to take effect from May 1, for shipments from the Canada West Coast to China, Hong Kong & Macau SAR, Northeast Asia, and Southeast Asia.

The new rates will apply to dry containers, with open top, flat racks, and tank containers excluded from the Initiative.

Under the RRI, the rates will be increased by US$50 per 20′ container and US$100 per 40′ & 45′ containers.
