# MSC Extends Piracy and Suez Surcharges Across Mediterranean

> MSC will extend its Piracy Risk and Suez Canal surcharges to all remaining Mediterranean and Black Sea ports from November 15 for cargo moving from Asia. The combined charge is $91 per TEU, which the carrier links to security and piracy risks around the Arabian Peninsula.

## Why it matters

Higher surcharges raise shipping costs for cargo arriving at Mediterranean and Black Sea ports, potentially increasing landed prices for imported feed commodities. The added charge is a meaningful cost for affected routes, but does not itself indicate a change in commodity supply.
