OOCL to provide ship on CMA Asia-NZ loop

   The liner carrier CMA CGM said Tuesday that its new partner on the line’s Asia-New Zealand ANZEX service, OOCL, will provide one vessel on the service from the end of the month.
   American Shipper reported the partnership Monday.
   The service is currently operated with six CMA CGM vessels, but from the end of December, OOCL will provide one vessel. CMA CGM also said that a northbound call at Port Kelang will be dropped to improve transit time to China by seven days.
   The revised rotation of the service will be Hong Kong, Chiwan, Ningbo, Shanghai, Pusan, Auckland, Port Chalmers, Lyttelton, Tauranga, Nouméa, and Hong Kong.
