The CMA CGM Group upgrades its Lebanese service by adding a call in Beirut on its EPIC line, joining North Europe to Indian sub-continent, and on its MEX line, joining the Mediterranean to Asia.
"We are pleased to announce that starting July 27th the Port of Beirut will be called each week by two of its most emblematic lines. Those lines complete the Group's offer in Lebanon," says the release.
The CMA CGM Group provides producers new solutions for imports and fruit and vegetable exports to the Arab Gulf, the Red Sea and the Indian sub-continent.
By adding weekly calls in Beirut to its EPIC service, joining North Europe to the Indian sub-continent, and to its MEX service, joining the Mediterranean to Asia, the CMA CGM Group adapts its offer to the Lebanese companies' demand. Those additional calls will offer them new export solutions to Jeddah, the Arab Gulf, the Red Sea and the Indian sub-continent.
The Group's EPIC and MEX services' competitive transit times enable the transport of products requiring fast routings. The demand in fresh fruit and vegetable of Jeddah and the Arab Gulf is high. CMA CGM therefore adapts its services to the Lebanese companies offer as well as to the Arab Gulf and Saudi Arabia's demand.
