To improve its ASEA service between Asia and East Africa, CMA CGM has launched ASEA Kenya and ASEA Tanzania service. The ASEA service has been operated on one single service until now, and will be spread into two distinct services: ASEA Kenya, that will provide 4-days reduced transit times to Kenya on the following rotation: Singapore, Tanjung Pelepas, Port Kelang, Colombo, Mombasa, Colombo and Singapore. Via two different services, ASEA Kenya and ASEA Tanzania, CGM will now accompany East African markets’ growth and replace the ASEA one single service. Transit times from Asia will be significantly reduced, and the service global reliability improved. CMA CGM said it has tailor made intermodal and logistics solutions will connect African land-locked countries to Asia.
