Shippers advised to check routings as alliances reshape Asia–South America trade
Maersk has lost both partners on the Asia–East Coast South America trade in three months, with Zim leaving its ASAS loop and Maersk and CMA CGM set to end the joint ASAS2/SEAS3 service.
According to the report, Maersk has lost both partners on the Asia–East Coast South America trade within three months. The changes are described as a local reshuffle that reflects a broader redrawing of alliance maps on a trade the alliances did not formally cover.
In September, Zim left Maersk’s ASAS loop to launch the AS3/ZFS service with Hapag-Lloyd. The report says that on the previous day, Maersk and CMA CGM said they would end their joint ASAS2/SEAS3 service, with the last sailing scheduled to leave Shanghai on 8 December.
The article advises shippers to check routings. The supplied excerpt ends mid-sentence about CMA, so no further details about that service are available.
