CMA CGM informs its customers that its SIRIUS service connecting the Mediterranean with East Coast South America will cease to call in the Brazilian port of Itajai. Whilst the withdrawal of this port is due to circumstances out of CMA CGM control, it will assist in improving the schedule reliability for the future.
The last vessels calling at Itajai will be the following:
- Southbound: m/v "SAN VINCENTE" voy. 0NSDFS1MA, ETS Tanger November 21st, 2022 - ETA Itajai December 10th, 2022.
- Northbound: m/v "CMA CGM COLUMBIA" voy. 0NSDEN1MA, ETS Itajai December 4th, 2022.
Improving schedule reliability
The new rotation is as follows: Algeciras – Tanger - Salvador - Santos - Paranagua - Rio Grande - Itapoa - Santos - Itaguai - Tanger – Algeciras.
CMA CGM would suggest its customers to concentrate their future shipments in the neighbouring port of Itapoa, within the same state of Santa Catarina, where the Sirius service will continue to offer fast & regular service along with multimodal solutions if required. Their local CMA CGM agent is available to assist them for any questions users may have, and to find solutions for any boxes on the water not connecting with the above vessels.
