CMA CGM has announced the reshuffle of its SAFRAN service, connecting North Europe with East Coast South America.
SAFRAN will structurally stop calling in Itapoa & Algeciras with effect from 1 July, when the 10,500TEU Cap San Augustin will start its voyage from the Port of Rotterdam. Additionally, during a period of eight weeks commencing from the same vessel, SAFRAN will drop the Le Havre call.
