Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) is a dynamic surcharge imposed by carriers during periods of high demand in the shipping industry. It is designed to address the increased costs and capacity constraints experienced during peak seasons, such as holidays or busy trading periods. The PSS is typically applied on top of the standard freight rates and is subject to fluctuation based on market conditions. This surcharge helps carriers manage the demand-supply balance, incentivizes shippers to adjust their shipping schedules, and ensures the continuity and reliability of services. The PSS assists in covering additional expenses incurred during peak seasons, such as equipment shortages, increased labor costs, and higher operational requirements, enabling carriers to effectively manage their operations and maintain service levels.
