CSAV, CMA CGM, and China Shipping have suspended a loop connecting Asia with Central America and the east coast of South America, and will add two calls from the pulled loop to another service they jointly operate.
The lines have suspended a loop dubbed PEX2 (loop 2) by CMA CGM, ACP by CSAV, and CAX2 by China Shipping. Calls at Port of Spain from that service will be switched to their PEX2/JCS/CAX1 service, which is currently operated with 11 vessels (five each from CMA CGM and CSAV and one from China Shipping) with an average capacity of 4,575 TEUs, according to American Shipper affiliate Com Pair Data.
That service has an existing rotation of Kaohsiung, Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao, Busan, Ensenada, Manzanillo (Mexico), Manzanillo (Panama), Cartagena, Kingston, Caucedo, Puerto Cabello, Port of Spain, Chiwan, Hong Kong, and Kaohsiung.
