    THE 15,000-TEU CMA CGM Argentina, the company's biggest ship to call regularly in Japan is now part of a weekly service to the Honmoku D4 terminal in Yokohama, reports the American Journal of Transportation.

    The ship is one of two 15,000-TEUers that the French shipping giant has deployed on the weekly Asia Central South America 1 (ACSA1) service, rotating through Shekou, Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, Ningbo, Shanghai, Busan, Manzanillo, Lazaro Cardenas, Buenaventura, Callao, Posorja, Manzanillo, Yokohama, Busan and back to Shekou.

    Arriving from central and south America, it carries fresh fruit from Ecuador and Guatemala as well as coffee and malt from Colombia and Mexico.

    A trusted shipping service that connects the important Asia-Latin America trade corridor, the ACSA1 service makes a port stop at the Honmoku D4 terminal each week.

    Operated by CMA CGM, the terminal has a total annual operating capacity of over 550,000 TEU and contributes to about 15 per cent of Yokohama's port throughput.

    Said CMA CGM country manager Hideki Uchida: "The introduction of the larger vessels will not only accommodate more Yokohama-bound fresh produce on a single voyage, they are part of our plans to grow inbound cargoes from Central and Southern America. Importantly, they equip us with more capabilities to further facilitate trade flows between Latin America and Asia."
