CMA CGM, COSCO, Evergreen and OOCL upgrade their services by offering the “Day Two Product” under Ocean Alliance, the world’s largest operational agreement between shipping companies. This new product, due in April 2018, will have an estimated carrying capacity of around 3.6 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) with around 340 containerships deployed on 41 services.
Two Product will strengthen CMA CGM’s service offering by providing even better services and upgrades to the Group’s customers, the company commented.
In particular, the new service include the following:
- 20 Transpacific services, 6 Asia-Europe services, 4 Asia-Mediterranean services, 4 Transatlantic services, 5 Asia-Middle East services, 2 Asia-Red Sea services;
- on the Transatlantic trade, the new offering will provide an increased coverage of the East Coast with CMA CGM splitting its Victory Bridge service to offer two specific services to the East Coast of the United States (Independence Bridge) and to the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico (Victory Bridge);
- offer a direct service from North China & South Korea to the Red Sea;
- continue to optimize and upgrade its offering with additional ports of call.
‘’This new product perfectly illustrates our customer centric strategy, by improving the service level provided with new solutions in key areas such as US East Coast, Red Sea, Middle East Gulf and Europe,” Olivier Nivoix, Senior Vice President Ocean Alliance Lines, stated.
