CMA CGM and Maersk US flag carriers enter into slot exchange deals
CMA CGM’s shipping specialist serving the US Government, APL, and Maersk’s counterpart, Maersk Line Limited, have entered into a new slot exchange partnership across several trade routes.
In particular, Maersk will take 80 eastbound TEUs and 130 westbound TEUs on APL’s Transpacific and fully US-flagged EX1 service, while APL will secure 80 eastbound and 20 westbound slots on Maersk’s Indian Subcontinent – US East Coast (MECL) service.
Additionally, the MECL service, which is partially served with US-flagged tonnage, will add the port of Mundra to its rotation at the expense of the westbound Algeciras call. This change is scheduled for late in February.
