MSC Announces Further Rate Increases on Northern Europe, Mediterranean and Black Sea Routes


Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has announced a new round of freight rate adjustments on services from Far East ports—including Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia—to Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The revised charges will be effective from 15 December to 31 December 2025. The detailed cost structure is as follows (all in USD/TEU, VATOS applicable):

                           (Frommsc.com

Base Ocean Freight + Global Fuel Surcharge (GFS): USD 79/TEU (valid until December 2025)

Emission Control Area Surcharge (ECA):

Mediterranean (MED) and selected Northern European countries (NEUR: Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, France): USD 15/TEU

Other Northern European and Baltic countries: USD 52/TEU

Carbon Limitation Surcharge (CLS): USD 20/TEU

Carbon Review Surcharge (CRS):

Northern Europe (NEUR): USD 57/TEU

Mediterranean (MED): USD 85/TEU

 

The above charges exclude Terminal Handling Charges (THC) and any other applicable local surcharges. Dangerous goods (IMO-class cargo) and high-value cargo are not included.

Compared with the rate adjustment implemented on 1 December, the increase this time varies depending on the trade lane and container type, ranging from USD 200 to USD 1,000 per container. 

 

 The higher rates are expected to further raise transportation costs between Asia and Europe. This will impact the profitability of Chinese exporters and the cost structure of Italian manufacturing and retail sectors.

Meanwhile, the continued escalation of freight rates and environmental surcharges may encourage companies to optimize supply chain planning and accelerate the shift toward greener and low-carbon logistics solutions.
