CMA CGM-China Shipping string to avoid Suez Canal

CMA CGM-China Shipping string to avoid Suez Canal CMA CGM and China Shipping Container Line will temporarily route one of its Europe/Asia container services via the Cape of Good Hope instead of through the Suez Canal, reports the shipping service AXS Alphaliner.
   The two carriers will make the change for a test period of eight weeks on eastbound sailings from Europe to Asia, AXS-Alphaliner said.
   Last week Maersk Line made a similar change to one of its Europe/Asia services, the AE-7.
