West Africa shipping service upgrades

New shipping structure provides dedicated loops

CMA CGM has announced an upgrade to their WAX services which will now feature three dedicated loops that includes two new services in the Asia to West Africa schedules.

This strategic reconfiguration aims to reflect the market growth dynamics in the region and provides a commitment to schedule reliability, reduced transit times and increased capacity. The new structure enables us to better cater to the West African Central Range markets while maintaining seamless connectivity.
