APL, part of the CMA CGM Group, announced the launch of a new weekly America Central America Caribbean (ACC) service, connecting US East Coast to the Dominican Republic with the fastest transit time.

The ACC service will be characterised by its three-day and five-day transit time from the port of Miami to the Rio Haina and Caucedo ports in the Dominican Republic respectively. The ACC service will also make a weekly port stop at Kingston in Jamaica to relay shipments that arrive onboard APL’s ACE service to the Latin American ports on rotation.

Via the ACC service that will call Cartagena in Colombia, Latin American shippers will be able to access various Asian markets through APL’s Asia-Latin America services from there.

The ACC service will commence sailing from the Port of Miami on 23 August with the following rotation: Port of Miami – Rio Haina – Caucedo – Kingston – Belize – Puerto Cortes – Puerto Barrios – Cartagena – Port of Miami.
