The CMA CGM Group, a leading worldwide shipping group, has announced its FAL1 and FAL3 services reshuffle.
Starting June 24th, CMA CGM will reorganize its FAL1 service rotation. This service deploys the CMA CGM Group’s largest vessels. This new configuration improves the Group’s North China coverage.
Twelve 11,000 to 18,000 TEUs vessels will sail the following rotation: Tianjin, Dalian, Pusan, Ningbo, Shanghai, Yantian, Port Klang, Algeciras, Southampton, Dunkirk, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge, Le Havre, Malta, Khor Fakkan, Yantian, Tianjin.
Starting June 29th, and during 12 weeks, the FAL3 service will be operated alternately with the FAL2 service. In order to be harmonized with the FAL2 rotation, the FAL3 rotation, deploying 11,400 to 13,800 TEUs vessels, is therefore modified and will call the following ports weekly: Ningbo, Shanghai, Xiamen, Chiwan, Yantian, Port Klang, Le Havre, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Le Havre, Jeddah, Port Klang, and Ningbo.
A better response to the current market demand will be provided with this optimization.
With the new FAL1 and FAL3 configuration, CMA CGM answers its clients’ needs and provides:
A junction between North and West African markets and Asian markets with the call of Algeciras, in Spain
A complete coverage of United Kingdom with the Southampton and Felixstowe import calls
A as frequent coverage as before of the Hamburg and Rotterdam ports
An improved service from North Europe to Beirut and a new call via its EPIC service joining Beirut to the Middle East.
