With Maersk, APL and OOCL on Asia – Indian Subcontinent services
The CMA CGM Group is pleased to announce a new cooperation set up with current partner Maersk Line, APL and OOCL on 3 existing Far East to Indian Subcontinent services (CIMEX 2/FM3, CIX, CIX3), starting in February 2014.
In a Slot Sharing Agreement that also includes partners as Emirates Shipping Line, Hamburg Süd and Regional Container Lines, 18 vessels with a total capacity of about 17,500 TEU’s will be deployed on the 3 Far East-Indian Subcontinent services.
This enhanced network will enable the Group to offer 3 sailings per week – covering Korea, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan – compared to 1 weekly sailing that is currently offered by each Liner.
The multi-carrier cooperation will provide more frequent sailings between Asia’s major hubs, and will definitely minimize routes duplication on this trade.
