CMA CGM to reshuffle SAFRAN service connecting North Europe with East Coast South America

MERSEILLE : CMA CGM has announced changes to its SAFRAN service connecting North Europe with East Coast South America.

SAFRAN will structurally stop calling in Itapoa & Algeciras SB with effect from m/v “CAP SAN AUGUSTIN”, ETS Rotterdam on July 1st, 2021.

On top, during a period of 8 weeks commencing from the same vessel, SAFRAN will drop the Le Havre call.
