The Intra-Asia short sea specialist of the CMA CGM Group, CNC has announced the launch of a new Japan China Vietnam (JCV) service that will connect the three countries in Asia.
The new service will take effect on 31 March, with the first container ship inaugurating the voyage departing the port of Tokyo to follow the port rotation below:
