U.S./INDIA CARRIERS TO SHARE VESSELS
Three carriers of the Indamex vessel-sharing agreement — CMA CGM, Contship Containerlines and Shipping Corporation of India — plan to cooperate with APL as a new partner.
A proposed agreement would authorize the four carriers “to share vessel space between the U.S. East Coast and ports in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Portugal, the United Arab Emirates, ports in the Bangladesh to Philippines range, ports bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and ports bordering the Red Sea,” according to the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission.
Unlike the Indamex carriers, APL does not currently provide a direct U.S./India service.
