CMA CGM adds seasonal Pisco call to PAD service

CMA CGM will introduce a seasonal call at Pisco, Peru, on its Panama Direct (PAD) service in December. The service connects Australia and New Zealand with the US East Coast and North Europe. According to DynaLiners, a new agreement filed with the US Federal Maritime Commission, together with CMA CGM’s planned vessel deployment, indicates that the PAD service has become a standalone CMA CGM operation. Marfret, previously a vessel provider on the service, is understood to be continuing its participation as a slot charterer. The French carrier markets the service as NASP.
