After several years of Slot Charter arrangements with various operators, and taking advantage of the positive outlook of the trans-Atlantic trade, we have decided to start a stand-alone service.

service will offer weekly sailings between North Europe and USEC including the North Atlantic ports of New York and Norfolk.
The new service pattern will be the following:
 Fleet of vessels

o A fleet of 5 vessels, 1700 teus nominal in the first stage, all operated solely by CMA CGM.

o The Vessels will also have a minimum of 300 reefer plugs.

 
 ROTATION in 36 days with following port coverage :

Antwerp – Rotterdam – Bremerhaven – Le Havre – New York – Norfolk – Savannah – Charleston – New York and back to Antwerp.
o Please see below details and transit-time.
