MARSEILLE-based French shipping giant, CMA CGM, and Dubai-Hong Kong based Emirates Shipping have joined in a vessel sharing agreement on two weekly loops linking the Middle East and east Africa starting May 11.
Deploying 1,700 to 2,200-TEU ships to jointly operate two services linking the Middle East and east Africa, it will be marketed as the Swahili Express 2 and the Swahili Express 3 by CMA CGM and as the Gulf-Mombasa Express (GMX) and the Gulf Dar es Salaam Express (GDX) by Emirates.
The fixed-day weekly services will follow a fixed-day rotation of Jebel Ali, Khor Fakkan, Mombasa, Zanzibar and back to Jebel Ali.
Trade to and from India is expected to benefit from the joint services through relay options over Khor Fakkan.
