Marseille: CMA CGM is pleased to announce the launch of the NEW CIMEX 2 service linking Asia /China to India and Pakistan, operated in partnership with Maersk Line. The service will deploy six vessels of 5,500TEUs and offer the fastest transit times on the market - 15 days between Shanghai and Pipavav, says CMA CGM. From Pipavav there will be access to the ICD (Inland Container Depot) in Dadri and Nhava Sheva offering connections to all inland destinations in India.
 
The new rotation starting in Kwangyang on 13/06/2010 will be as follows:
Kwangyang - Busan - Shanghai - Hong Kong - Da Chan Bay - Tanjung Pelepas - Colombo - Pipavav - Nhava Sheva - Port Qasim - Port Klang - Tanjung Pelepas - Singapore - Hong Kong - Kwangyang. Shanghai call will start on July 8, 2010.
 
"The Asia to India/Pakistan trade - linking the two economies with the highest populations in the world - is currently expanding. This trend is likely to continue and we therefore decided to develop the NEW CIMEX 2 to keep pace with our customers' needs and support the development of their activities on these markets", explains Ludovic Rozan, Vice-President CMA CGM Asia.  [11/06/10]
