CMA CGM is pleased to announce that in order to improve operational efficiency, the following changes will be implemented on its FAL1 and FAL3 services connecting Asia with North Europe:
Effective Week 48, CAI MEP call on FAL3 will be suspended. We will re-assess the possibility to insert the call again in 2024 thanks to improved nautical conditions.
While part of the cargo will continue to be loaded on FAL7 directly calling in CAI MEP, we will also deploy a dedicated feeder between Ho Chi Minh and our hub in Singapore to connect with our seven loops sailing to North Europe and ensure same service commitment as today.
At the same time, we will switch TANGER call from FAL1 to FAL3. LE HAVRE will now become the first port of call on FAL1, followed by DUNKERQUE.
FAL1 rotation and Westbound transit times will be the following:
Rotation: Busan - Ningbo - Shanghai - Yantian - Singapore - Le Havre - Dunkerque - Hamburg - Gdansk - Rotterdam - Port Klang - Busan
FAL3 rotation and Westbound transit times will be the following:
Rotation: Qingdao - Shanghai - Ningbo - Yantian - Singapore - Tanger Med/Algeciras - Rotterdam - Southampton - Antwerp - Le Havre - Algeciras - Singapore - Qingdao
