The CMA CGM Group has announced the introduction of two new calls in Cartagena (Colombia) and Puerto Cabello (Venezuela) on its BLACK PEARL service linking North America to Jamaica (Kingston).

Effective from July 16th on a weekly basis, these new calls will provide new calls to the Colombian and Venezuelan markets for CMA CGM’s US East Coast and Canadian customers as well as faster transit times between East Coast North America and Colombia/Venezuela (New York – Puerto Cabello, 14 days and Halifax – Cartagena, 8 days).
