CMA CMG upgrades NEMO service adding call at La Reunion Island
IN A move to boost La Reunion Island as a hub between Europe, South East Asia, Africa and Australia in the Indian Ocean, French shipping line CMA CGM has added a new call at Pointe des Galets on its New Europe Mascarene Oceania (NEMO) service.
This follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding in August last year by French shipping line to establish the island as the group's maritime hub in the Indian Ocean.
The NEMO service offers a direct connection between Northern Europe, Southern Europe, India, Singapore, and Australia and starting from December 11, three new calls will be added: Pointe des Galets port in la Reunion Island, Fos in France, and Salerno in Italy.
The new rotation will be: Tilbury, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Le Havre, Fos, Genova, Damietta, Pointe des Galets, Fremantle, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Singapore, Port Kelang, Chennai, Colombo, Cochin, Damietta, Malta, and Salerno.
La Reunion Island will be called each Wednesday with the best transit times on the market. Pointe des Galets port will be reached in 21 days from Le Havre and 16 days from Fos. The new call at Pointe des Galets will also offer transshipment connections towards Africa, Madagascar, and Mauritius through the shipping line's other services.
By adding a call at Fos, CMA CGM offers a direct connection between South of France, la Reunion Island and Australia.
CMA CGM will operate 7 out of the 13 4,200 TEU capacity vessels - the rest being operated by Hapag-Lloyd.
