CMA CGM, trying to boost pricing on the beleaguered westbound shipping out of Asia, will apply a general rate increase on cargo moving on its Epic Service from India to Europe and the Mediterranean, starting Aug. 14.
The French ocean carrier's rate increase will be $200 per 20-foot and $400 per 40-foot dry container.
The Epic is a fixed-day weekly service, calling at Southampton, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Le Havre, Piraeus, Khor Fakkan, Jebel Ali, Port Qasim, Nhava Sheva (Jawaharlal Nehru), Mundra, Jeddah, Malta, Tangiers and back to Southampton.
