Pipavav ties up with CMA CGM

Port Pipavav has tied up with French Container Liner CMA CGM for bringing in cargo through their ships to the Gujarat-based port.

"Pipavav Port signed a contract with the container liner on October 26 for their Europe service," a senior port official said. However, he declined to divulge further details about the tie-up.

Port Pipavav will be added as a major port destination in India for CMA CGM. The port will now have 'Europe Service', a leading carrier operating from Europe to India, calling at the port, the official said.
Moreover, its strategic location and the availability of high-tech infrastructure for reefers make it an attractive port in Gujarat for containers, he said. Through this exclusive and independent service of CMA CGM, shippers in the Gujarat region, including seafood exporters in Delhi, Ludhiana and Jaipur, will get a direct and fast service to Europe, said the official.  -PTI
