The strong rebound in transpacific volumes will see CMA CGM launching its Yang Tse service linking south, central and north China to the West Coast of the US on July 10.

Operated in partnership with Maersk Line and MSC, the service will deploy six vessels of 6,500 TEU capacity, covering the port rotation: Xiamen, Shanghai (Wai Gao Qiao), Qingdao, Long Beach, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Xiamen.

It will allow CMA CGM to respond to the rebound of volumes on the trade linking China to the US by strengthening its presence and improving transit times on this key transpacific trade lane.
