CMA CGM reinforces EPIC service

The company currently operates two slings on the EPIC service, in partnership with Hambourg Süd and Hapag Lloyd. CMA CGM Group is the majority partner, with three 4,000 teu and four 2,800 teu vessels deployed on EPIC 1 and EPIC 2 respectively. The new 100% CMA CGM service will deploy six 4,200 teu container ships, which should soon be replaced by 6,500 teu capacity vessels.

The rotation of the service will be Tilbury – Hambourg – Anvers – Le Havre – Port Said – Korfakkan or Jebel Ali – Port Qasim – Nhava Sheva – Mundra – Malta –Tilbury.

“Thanks to this new service, CMA CGM will continue to provide customers with extensive port coverage and competitive transit times between Northern Europe, India, the Gulf and Pakistan,” said Jean-François Guittet, senior vice president Africa Oceania and Indian Ocean Lines at CMA CGM.
