APL expands to launch new Colombia-Kingston feeder service

APL, a part of the CMA CGM group, is to launch a weekly feeder service that connects the major markets of Colombia and Kingston in Jamaica, branded the Colombia Bridge Express (CBX).

The new CBX service will facilitate cargo movements between Asia, the Caribbean and the US east coast via the carrier's global linehaul services at the transshipment hubs of Cartagena and Kingston, a company statement said.



Effective from November 11, the service will call at the ports of Kingston, Cartagena, Barranquilla and Santa Marta, with its first sailing departing from Cartagena.



"Cartagena and Kingston are central to the design of the new CBX service. Through the two transshipment hubs, the CBX service will offer our customers high levels of connectivity and added assurance of reliability via APL's dedicated connecting services to key ports of Asia and the United States," said regional director of Latin America and Caribbean trade, Efrain Osorio.



"Complemented by our strong reefer capabilities, this new service will enhance APL's Latin America trade coverage and enable us to serve our customers more comprehensively."
