CMA CGM and Maersk will become the latest carriers to launch a joint Asia-East Coast South America (ECSA) service with a semi-express loop that is specifically targeting the significant trade growth between Brazil and Vietnam.<\/p>\n
The move follows a tie-up between HMM and Ocean Network Express (ONE) that will see the two carriers begin an express service linking Busan and South China with Brazil.<\/p>\n
Both the CMA CGM\/Maersk and HMM\/ONE connections will begin in April, just as container freight rates are anticipated to rise, according to one Brazilian-based freight forwarder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CMA CGM said its Asia-South America East Coast 3 (SEAS3) service \u2014 known as the ASAS2 for Maersk \u2014 will provide a \u201cunique service from Vietnam\u201d while also streamlining shipments between Asia and Brazil with the limited number of port calls improving transit times.<\/p>\n
This is the first time CMA CGM and Maersk have teamed up on an Asia-ECSA service. Their separate existing services involve multiple ports calls in Asia and South America, including Argentina and Uruguay.<\/p>\n
Maersk said there will be a 37-day transit from Shanghai to Santos, 33 days from Shekou (Shenzhen) to Santos, and 29 days from Vung Tau to Santos, Latin America\u2019s largest port.<\/p>\n
CMA CGM is providing seven vessels with a nominal capacity of 6,500 TEUs, while Maersk is deploying four ships on the service.<\/p>\n
The full rotation is Shanghai-Shekou-Vung Tau-Singapore-Santos-Singapore-Shanghai.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ONE and HMM will start their joint Asia-ECSA service in April from Busan, also with limited port calls to enhance transit times. The rotation is Busan\u2013South China\u2013Singapore\u2013Rio Grande\u2013Santos\u2013Santa Catarina\u2013Singapore\u2013Hong Kong\u2013Busan.<\/p>\n
