CMA CGM to improve its service between the Indian Subcontinent/Middle East Gulf and Douala (Cameroon)

CMA CGM has announced the improvement of its service from Indian Subcontinent and Middle East Gulf to Cameroon.To increase the reliability of its service to Douala, CMA CGM will connect the cargo at Pointe Noire instead of Cotonou. Cargo from India/Middle East Gulf will then benefit from a fortnightly service to Douala with a 5-day gain in transit time. Starting March 11th, 2016 with m/v NORDIC HONG KONG loading in Khor Fakkan, the new MIDAS service pattern will allow very competitive transit times to Douala: 40 days from Khor Fakkan, 39 days from Jebel Ali, 35 days from Nhava Sheva and 32 days from Mundra.

Container ship grounded off Qasim

The "Nordic Hong Kong" ran aground on Aug 30, 2015, at 0655 a.m. while leaving the ship channel of Port Qasim, and got stuck near buoy 9. At 11.45 a.m. the vessel was refloated with tug assistance. Obviously the canal’s depths were faulted by silting. The vessel left Port Qasim the same day.
