Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM revamp joint China-US west coast service

2008-4-24

The reorganised China-US West Coast service jointly operated by three mega carriers Maersk, MSC and CMA CGM has recently been launched, Logistics Week reported.

The revamped service has three separate lines. The first, which MSC calls the Eagle Express, will cover central and southern China, and will call at Hong Kong, Yantian, Kaohsiung, Shanghai, Qingdao and Los Angeles.

The second service, the New Orient Express, will cover Central and Northern China, making port of calls at Dalian, Tianjin Xingang, Shanghai, Ningbo, Long Beach and Oakland.

Each of these two new services will deploy five 8,000 TEU ships, with four operated by Maersk Line and Mediterranean Shipping Company and two vessels operated by CMA CGM.

In addition, MSC and CMA CGM will charter container slots on Maersk's service, which will cover ports in Korea and Japan to North America. This service will be conducted by five 4,000-TEU ships.

MSC calls this the Sunrise service and it will call at Kwangyang, Busan, Kobe, Shimizu, Nagoya, Yokohama, Los Angeles and Oakland.
