As there are always better ways to address a market, CMA CGM – Short Sea Lines Division is pleased to announce its TMX 1.2 service launching as of WEEK 23, the faster-ever maritime bridge between Turkey/Spain/France/Algeria.

This new weekly Pendulum service (starting ex Ambarli on June 8th, 2022 with m/v “CONTSHIP FUN”) is resulting from a re-shuffling of the SSL INTRAMED services. The TMX product is composed out of 4 loops [TMX 1; TMX 1.2; TMX 2; TMX 3] 

The main features are the following:

  • Fleet: 3 vessels x 1,100 TEUS nominal capacity
  • Rotation: Ambarli / Gebze / Aliaga / Barcelona / Marseille / Bejaia / Annaba / Ambarli
  • Frequency: Weekly
  • 1st callAmbarli: Wed. 8/6/2022 | 1st call Barcelona: 15/6 | 1st call Marseille: 17/6 | 1st call Bejaia: 20/6 | 1st call Annaba: 22/6
  • Ocean Transit Time references Aliaga to Barcelona in 4 days, to Marseille in 6 days, to Bejaia in 9 days; Marseille to Bejaia in 1 day.
  • This West Turkey → Spain / France Express service will provide a new gateway possibility to route the cargo destined to other Western Europe locations (Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, etc).
  • This greener option aiming at optimising the transportation lead-time, frequency, and costs is a consistent alternative to traditional Truck flows from Turkey to Western Europe.
  • The strong intermodal network combined with shortened vessel port stay (< 12 hrs), Express Terminal Gate in/Cut off and a special container equipment fleet of 45’ Pallet Wide will foster an optimised supply chain dynamic.
  • At last, this Pendulum Service will provide the fastest transit times from Turkey / Spain / France To Algeria.
