CMA CGM Group has introduced a new shipping route connecting Manila, Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro, catering to the growing demand for logistics services in the Philippines, reports Philippines Inquirer.

The Philippine-flagged vessel, the CNC Pilipinas, will operate this service weekly, enhancing trade between the country's key islands.

The new route marks a milestone for the company as it strengthens its intra-Asia services.

Given the Philippines' archipelagic geography, sea-based transport remains vital for trade, and CMA CGM sees strong potential for growth in the region.
