Congestion Surcharge Calculations refers to the methodology used by carriers or logistics providers to determine additional fees charged on shipments when ports, terminals, or transportation networks experience congestion. These calculations typically consider factors such as cargo volume, container size, port call delays, dwell time duration, and predefined surcharge rates to cover increased operational costs and incentivize off-peak shipping.
