COSCO SHANGHAI joins CMA CGM’s Transatlantic service

CMA CGM has announced that the COSCO SHANGHAI vessel will be phased into its AMERIGO service.

According to the carrier, the vessel will enter rotation at Salerno on voyage 0MRJ3W1MA, with the full AMERIGO service loop covering:

Salerno – La Spezia – Genoa – Vado Ligure – Valencia – Algeciras – New York – Norfolk – Savannah – Miami.

The company noted that the phase-in “will support network stability and ensure continued service efficiency across the Transatlantic trade,” adding that there will be no changes to current scheduling or cargo cut-off times.

The vessel is expected to arrive at its first port of call on 4 August.

In May, CMA CGM and Saigon Newport Corporation (SNP) entered a partnership to develop a new deep-water terminal in Haiphong, northern Vietnam.

That same month, CMA CGM announced the launch of Vietnam’s first fully electric container barge.
