CMA-CGM’s Mascareignes and EPIC services relocate to Khorfakkan

4/7/2011 10:45:29 AM

CMA-CGM’s Mascareignes service has re-located to Khorfakkan Container Terminal (KCT), situated in the emirate of Sharjah on the Eastern Coast of the UAE and operated by international ports and logistics group, Gulftainer, on behalf of the Sharjah Ports Authority.

This service serves a wide swathe of the Indian Ocean and is named after the Mascareignes (or Mascarene) Archipelago, consisting of the Islands of Madagascar, Reunion, the Seychelles, Rodriques and Mauritius.

The four-ship operation was inaugurated at KCT by the 1,450 TEU CMA CGM Maasai late in March.

Speaking of the new service, Gulftainer terminal manager Ed Finbow Finbow said: “We already act as the major hub for CMA-CGM services, so it is a pleasure to see the start of an additional new service at KCT, one that we have never dealt with before and that opens up direct services to and from the Indian Ocean Islands, as well as Port Qasim in Karachi, and Mundra Port in India.”

“In fact, March is turning out to be a great success for KCT, as CMA-CGM’s EPIC service has also switched to Khorfakkan.’’
