French container shipping company CMA CGM Group has launched 40 new maritime services under its OCEAN Alliance operational coalition, which was announced in April last year.

CMA CGM will provide 119 of the 323 ships that form the coalition that also includes COSCO Container Lines, Evergreen Line and Orient Overseas Container Line as part of the new arrangement.

CMA CGM and its subsidiaries will also offer tailored solutions on the shipping routes of Asia-Europe, Asia-Mediterranean, Asia-Red Sea, Asia–Middle East, Trans-Pacific, Asia-East Coast of North America trades and Transatlantic.

OCEAN Alliance Lines senior vice-president Olivier Nivoix said: “This offer we are launching this Saturday, 1 April, will be unique for our customers.

“Port coverage, transits time, the complementarity of services and the additional offer of intermodal and logistical solutions, are real assets for the supply chain’s performance of our customers.”

OCEAN Alliance will see CMA CGM provide 13 loops with 78 ships, and 101 weekly calls in 31 ports situated between Asia and North America’s West Coast.
