CMA CGM said the terminal has achieved an average gross berth productivity of more than 160 moves per hour.

“Shippers along these routes will get the best transit times, most competition, and cheapest rates. The reverse will be true for niche shippers.”

The tight space on ships out of North Europe ports is not because of supply and demand, according to a container shipping analyst.

Average revenue per TEU carried by OOCL in 2016 was even worse than during the global financial crisis, leading to an annual loss of $273 million.

Compensate carriers for good service and penalize them for rolled cargo, CMA CGM head tells TPM 2017.

Just over a month remains until the new alliances go live.

The lack of detail in the schedules of the two mega-carrier alliances launching on April 1 is causing “planning headaches."

It will be a busy marketplace on the trans-Pacific from April as smaller carriers and the mega alliances all compete for a share of the growing US import container trade.

French line CMA CGM has followed through on its commitment to making Singapore its Asian hub with the opening of a regional operations centre in the city-state.

OOCL's partners in the Ocean Alliance are the most likely to buy the Hong Kong-based container line, analysts say, provided it is for sale.

The new alliances are likely to have only a limited effect on productivity and the number of services available to shippers at North Europe ports.

As shippers scrutinize carriers’ financial stability ahead of the 2016 to 2017 bidding season, the safeguards could provide those that deal with the THE Alliance some reassurances — and give alliance members a contracting edge.

CMA CMG reports third quarter loss amid lower container volumes and rates, a year after posting a profit.

A global shippers group is questioning whether the savings container lines enjoy through the deployment of mega-ships, alliances, slow steaming, and consolidation are being fairly shared with importers and exporters, urging for a new commercial contract between shippers and liners.

The Ocean Alliance has released information on its network that begins on April 1, 2017, with the trans-Pacific to see the largest number of loops and port calls.

CMA CGM has named Michel Delville as the French ocean carrier’s CFO.

A US federal maritime commissioner on Monday said that alliances may have to prove they have emergency procedures in case a member carrier collapses after Hanjin Shipping did just that.
