CMA CGM: Multiple routes from Asia to Mexico and the west coast of South America have been upgraded
On April 18th, CMA CGM issued an announcement stating that it has upgraded multiple routes from Asia - Mexico - West Coast of South America - West Coast of Central America, aiming to provide flexible, reliable and competitive solutions for customers engaged in Asia-Latin American trade.
The main routes have been upgraded as follows:
M2X - Mexico Express
The M2X route will add Buena Ventura and maintain a high punctuality rate at major Mexican ports and Buena Ventura to ensure stable weekly services. It is scheduled to make its maiden voyage from Shekou Port on May 9, 2025.
Meanwhile, the M2X route will connect with the west coast routes of Central America by transiting at the ports of Buena Ventura and Lassaro Cardenas, and rely on the three newly opened MAYA loops to ensure reliable liner services to the major ports in the region.
The sequence of ports that MAYA Loop calls at is as follows:
MAYA 1: Balboa - Buena Ventura - Port Caldera - Balboa
MAYA 2: Buenaventura - Balboa - Corintho - Buenaventura
MAYA 3: Lassaro Cardenas - Quatzar Port - Akahutra - Lassaro Cardenas
ACSA 1 - Asia - Central and South America 1
The ACSA1 service will reverse its rotation of the South American West coast route (currently operating the south-to-north route) and make SAN Antonio (CLSAI) the first port of call in South America. By offering the fastest transportation time to this major port, it will provide a unique advantage in the market and make its maiden voyage from Busan Port on May 14, 2025.
M2A - Mexico to the Andes (New Route)
The M2A route is a new route that runs directly from central and northern China to Ensenada and other major ports in the region. Its maiden voyage will depart from Dalian on May 17, 2025.
