The CMA CGM Group has announced the launch, on May 13, 2019, of its new short sea service: ADRINAF.

The first direct service between the Adriatic Sea and Algeria

 With this weekly service, the Group is offering the first direct connection between the Adriatic Sea and Algeria. It thus opens up new development opportunities for its customers located in Central and Eastern Europe, thanks to rail and road intermodal solutions, mainly via Koper. It also allows connections to the rest of the world via its port hub in Malta, thus reaffirming its local commitment and its desire to develop it, emphasised a release.

CMA CGM consolidates its regional network

With the ADRINAF service, the Group reinforces its intra-Europe and Mediterranean "CMA CGM short sea" offer, which is comprised of 33 services operating 63 vessels and making over 300 calls per week. The Group also confirms its strategy aimed at "densifying" its regional network, the release added.
