November 17, 2020: New import call at Le Havre in CMA CGM’s French Asia Line (FAL1) rotation.
Symbolically, it’s the CMA CGM Antoine de Saint Exupéry, vessel inaugurated in Le Havre in September 2018, that will launch this new import port of call from Asia on December, 13th.
Details of the new CMA CGM FAL1 line rotation:
► Port rotation: Tianjin – Busan – Ningbo – Shanghai – Yantian – Singapore – Le Havre (new) – Dunkirk – Hamburg – Rotterdam – Southampton – Algeciras – Port Kelang – Tianjin
► This repositioning takes place within the Ocean Alliance, which includes CMA CGM (FAL 1),
Evergreen (FAL 1), Cosco Shipping (AEU2) and OOCL (LL4).
► This rotation will also welcome the shipping company’s latest generation vessels, including the CMA CGM Jacques Saadé, the world’s largest containership powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), proof of its involvment in environment.
►► CMA CGM, a signatory of the commitments’ charter for supply chain players, is demonstrating its desire to improve service to the French market.
The announcement of Le Havre’s addition to the FAL1 rotation is also in line with the investments’ logic made by GMP (Générale de Manutention Portuaire) in the Port of Le Havre, particularly with the commissioning at the end of this year of 4 new gantry cranes operated at the Terminal de France.
