CMA CGM Sets Up MedGulf Service

French container line CMA CGM is launching a MedGulf Service, linking the Mediterranean to the US Gulf and Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Jamaica), with the first boxship in the new service scheduled to leave Livorno on April 24.

This new service will offer weekly sailings from the Mediterranean to US Gulf and Caribbean, and a direct rotation from Houston to Tangiers, Morocco.

MedGulf completes the company’s Amerigo service that has already been operating between the Mediterranean and US East Coast.

The MedGulf service will deploy a fleet of six 1,700 TEU vessels on the following direct weekly rotation: Tangiers, Livorno, Genoa, Barcelona, Valencia, Caucedo, Kingston, Veracruz, Altamira, Houston and Tangiers.
