CMA CGM to launch a new express shuttle service linking East Asia to Russian Far East

CMA CGM – SSL Short Sea Lines Division has announced the launching of RUFEX 5, a new Short Sea Intra Far East weekly service, deployed between China / South Korea and Russian Far East.

The new service has launched from the 30th week (26 July – 1 August), from the China ports, according to the carrier’s announcement.

“This fourth operated loop linking the ports of Shanghai, Qingdao, Busan and Vostochny completing our RUFEX Product [on top of current RUFEX 1 & 2 + JRX] is aiming at optimising your worldwide supply chain dynamics to/from Russia,” said the French line in its statement.

CMA CGM believes the new product will bring a consistent sustainable alternative to Russian hinterland flows using its multimodal solutions via the company’s Russian Far East gateway with an additional frequency.
