APL will focus on its service to the United States Government through its fleet of US-flagged vessels.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CMA CGM took control of APL as part of its 2016 acquisition of Singapore-based Neptune Orient Lines (NOL). CMA CGM says APL will now leverage its experience to to focus exclusively on servicing the United States Government, as well as its service to the Guam-Pacific trade.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are leveraging the very best of CMA CGM and APL, two major carriers in the U.S., to bring our customers an even more focused and streamlined customer experience,\u201d said Ed Aldridge, President of CMA CGM and APL in the United States. \u201cThis simplification fortifies the Group\u2019s number-one position in the country while enabling us to build upon APL\u2019s rich heritage of U.S. flag-ship operations and service to the United States Government.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition to changes to its transpacific network, CMA CGM will also be reinforcing Singapore as its Asia-Pacific regional hub. From October 1, Neptune Orient Lines Limited will be renamed to CMA CGM Asia Pacific Limited. ANL Container Line Pty. Limited will become a subsidiary of CMA CGM Asia Pacific Limited as part of this development<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With this development, the CMA CGM says it is simplifying its brand strategy by designating CMA CGM as its global commercial carrier as its smaller brands focus on dedicated markets, inluding: APL, as the expert carrier in U.S. Government cargo; ANL, as the leader in Oceania, its core market; CNC, as the intra-Asia short-sea specialist; Mercosul Lines, as the Brazilian cabotage expert; and Containerships, as the multimodal transport intra-European leader.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reorganization of our Transpacific trade will keep our global network more efficient and diversified,\u201d said St\u00e9phane Courquin, Head of CMA CGM Asia Pacific. \u201cThe creation of a new Asia-Pacific hub in Singapore demonstrates our dedication to serve the region as we take supply chain efficiency to the next level, leveraging our expertise in shipping and logistics.\u201d<\/p>\n
