European liner carriers Maersk Line and CMA CGM will collaborate on a big-ship Asia-Europe service starting in June, the sixth such joint loop on the trade between two of the world’s three biggest lines. Each carrier will provide five ships on the 10-ship FAL 5 service as named by CMA CGM.
This new service will be operating as per the slow steaming principle, thus ensuring flawless punctuality. It comes in addition to the Group’s existing 11 FAL services on the Asia-Europe route, providing optimum port coverage on this major trade and allowing CMA CGM Group to reinforce its leading position on this market.
