Global shipping line CMA CGM has announced that Mobile, USA (Alabama) and Pusan, Korea will be added to its PEX3 service (Asia-Gulf of Mexico) effective May 20, 2010.

The shipping line said that the upgrade will allow a wider port coverage with the best transit times between Asia and the US Gulf coast where CMA CGM is the only company to call directly. It will also allow for an extended service from North China via its Pusan transhipment hub and act as an additional exit port for US exporters with access to the CMA CGM Group’s Middle and Far East destinations.
