Maersk and CMA CGM re-organise Far East-Greece services

MAERSK Line and CMA CGM, the world's largest and third carriers, have announced a reorganisation of their Far East-Greece service from their joint AE-12/BEX 2 loop to the AE-11/MEX 2 loop.

The call at Piraeus is shifted to the latter service and a direct Trieste import call is added to the AE-12/BEX 2, servicing the Adriatic Sea by offering a trade lane between northern Italy and Switzerland with shortened shipping times to Trieste, reports Alphaliner. Gioia Tauro is dropped from Maersk's AE-12, but will be added to its AE-6 loop, the string of AE-6/TP-6 pendulum.
