CMA CGM has upgraded its EPIC service between India, Pakistan, the Middle East and North Europe (five ports served directly), reducing transit times to the eastern Mediterranean.
Effective March 30th, a new westbound call at Port Said will cut transit times by four days to Lattakia (Syria) and Istanbul (Turkey), by six days to Mersin (Turkey) and by seven days to Beirut (Lebanon).
The Salalah call will be replaced by by Khor Fakkan, to liaise with the MASCAREIGNES line serving the Indian Ocean.
The service will deploy eight 5,700 TEU vessels calling at: Southampton > Rotterdam > Hamburg > Antwerp > Le Havre > Port Said > Khor Fakkan > Jebel Ali > Port Qasim > Nhava Sheva > Mundra > Jeddah > Port Said > Malta > Tangiers > Southampton.
CMA CGM therefore offers multiple destinations from the Indian subcontinent to the Middle East and North Europe with calls at major transhipment ports in the Mediterranean:
- Tangiers for West Africa and Latin America
- Malta for the western Mediterranean
- Khor Fakkan for the Indian Ocean
- Port Said for the Adriatic Sea, Black Sea, Middle East (Syria, Lebanon, Egypt), Turkey and Greece
