Khorfakkan gets another connection

The first call was by the 6,500 teu ‘CMA-CGM BALZAC’ yesterday (Tuesday 10 February) en-route to ports in South-East Asia, China and Korea from a range of Mediterranean ports.

A major customer of the terminal, CMA-CGM has used KCT as a hub for some years for its services, covering the Gulf, South Asia and Africa and now, as a result of re-working schedules to improve efficient connections, the MEX Service.

Gulftainer group director and general manager, Peter Richards commented, “Despite the rather downbeat atmosphere in the worldwide economy at present, we are delighted that CMA-CGM has further enhanced its portfolio of services at KCT by adding the Mediterranean/Far East link. This will certainly not only benefit the line, but also add yet more opportunities for the traders of the UAE to use Khorfakkan”.
