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

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.

The new rotation will be: Rotterdam, London, Hamburg, Antwerp, (Le Havre), Santos, Paranagua, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Paranagua, Santos, Tanger, Rotterdam.

CMA CGM will assure the service as below:
