Two additional calls for CMA CGM Asia - Gulf of Mexico

Mobile, USA (Alabama) and Pusan, Korea are the two new calls that will be added to the PEX3 service (Asia-Gulf of Mexico) effective May 20, 2010.

This upgrade will allow:
- A wider port coverage with the best transit times between Asia and the US Gulf coast where CMA CGM is the only company to call directly;
- Extended service from North China via Pusan transhipment hub;
- An additional exit port for US exporters with access to the CMA CGM Group’s Middle and Far East destinations.

“With these additional calls to Pusan and Mobile, the Group is now offering excellent port coverage for its customers in South East Asia, South, Central and North China, as well as Korea. Moreover CMA CGM remains the single company offering direct calls between Asia and the Gulf of Mexico with the best transit times on the market”, explained Alain M. Schmid, Deputy Vice-President North America Lines.

The new PEX3 rotation will be as follows:
Singapore / Hong Kong / Chiwan / Shanghai / Pusan / Panama Canal / Manzanillo / Houston / Mobile / Miami / Jacksonville / Savannah / Charleston / Tangiers / Jebel Ali / Singapore.
