CMA CGM Resumes Libya Service

CMA CGM said it has resumed all container commercial services to Libya, joining Maersk Line and Nordana in restarting service to the recently liberated country.

"All ports in Libya are now open, safe and operational as far as container services are concerned," a spokesperson for the French carrier told Dow Jones Wednesday.

CMA CGM said full service coverage to Tripoli, Misrata, El Khoms and Benghazi was now fully in place. Import routes are opening up after months of civil war caused huge upheaval, in particular around Libya's eastern port of Benghazi.
