CMA CGM's French Asia Line 3 (FAL 3) service between Vietnam and North Europe has started, with the container vessel Otello departing from SP-PSA international port in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
The 8,238 TEU CMA CGM Otello and nine sister ships are among the largest vessels in the Vietnam-Europe direct trade and sail weekly from SP-PSA to Port Kelang, Malta, Le Havre, Dunkirk, Zeebrugge, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge and Southampton before returning to Asia.
Jean-Charles Tassoni, general director of CMA CGM Vietnam JSC, said: "The CMA CGM offer between Asia and Europe is unique and we are proud to be the first to deploy large vessels calling directly in Vietnam. The introduction of this new direct service provides shorter transit times and enhances service levels for importers and exporters to key European and Mediterranean markets.
Feeder services linking SP-PSA with central and northern Vietnam and Cambodia will also provide connectivity for cargo owners in those areas with FAL 3 and other services at SP-PSA.
