CMA CGM starts Turkey, Romania and Ukraine, N Africa express service
FRENCH container line CMA CGM is launching a new Black Sea loop for connections to North Africa. The Black Sea Med Express service starts on August 21 to link Turkey, Romania and Ukraine to Algeria and Morocco.
The move is a response to the increase in trade between the countries, the French shipping giant said. The run is its first to offer a weekly connection between the main ports of the Black and Aegean seas and the north of Morocco (Tangier and Casablanca) and Algeria (Annaba), according to TradeWinds of Oslo.
Four 1,700 TEU ships will operate the route, also calling in Malta, Odessa, Constanta, Ambarli and Izmir.
CMA CGM offers some of the best transit times between: Constanta is connected to Casablanca (Morocco) in 16 days, Ambarli (Turkey) to Annaba (Algeria) in 6 days, Malta to Odessa (Ukraine) in 4 days and Izmir (Turkey) to Malta in 2 days.
The proposed stopover in Malta, the CMA CGM hub, affects all of the world's markets and offers multiple opportunities for transshipment and intermodal transport.
The implementation of the Black Sea Med Express service is directly in line with the CMA CGM Group's strategy for the development of short lines in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, the shipping line said.
