CMA CGM and the New World Alliance (MOL, APL, HMM) have signed a cooperation agreement to start a a new weekly service linking Japan and the US West Coast.
The FUJI service operates with four vessels, with nominal capacity ranging from 2,800 to 3,500 TUE and offers a direct connection between five Japanese ports (Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Shimizu, Tokyo), and the US West Coast gateway of Los Angeles.
It guarantees transit times among the most competitive on the market, with, for example, nine days to link Tokyo and Los Angeles.
"This new development offers CMA CGM customers optimum coverage of the Japanesemarket, with five calls eastbound," said Jean-Philippe Thenoz, vice-president North America Lines at CMA CGM.
"It comes after the opening of our new agency - CMA CGM (JAPAN) K.K ¬- and symbolises the group's commitment to developing its activities in the archipelago."
