Taipei: Cheng Lie Navigation Co (CNC), part of the CMA CGM Group, is strengthening its position in the intra-Asian trades by upgrading its existing China-SE Asia service and launching three new services. The moves are designed to "allow CNC to cope with further growth in volumes in the coming months" and "provide customers with enhanced reefer service between North China and South East Asian ports," comments Robert Sallons, CNC Liner Department General Manager.
The existing China 1 service will henceforth deploy four vessels with a nominal capacity of 2,700teu - replacing the fleet's current 1,700teu vessels - with the following rotation: Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Hong Kong, Manila (ATI & ICT), Jakarta, Surabaya, Hong Kong (MID & HIT), Qingdao.
