CMA CGM, a global leader in shipping and logistics operating across more than 160 countries, today announced a strategic revamping of its PEX2 service, adding Puerto Antioquia (Turbo) as a new direct port of call and reinforcing its position as the market's most reliable direct service between Asia and the Americas.
CMA CGM, a global leader in shipping and logistics operating across more than 160 countries, today announced a strategic revamping of its PEX2 service, adding Puerto Antioquia (Turbo) as a new direct port of call and reinforcing its position as the market's most reliable direct service between Asia and the Americas.
The adjustments are designed to strengthen schedule reliability and expand port coverage across the line's key corridors. By integrating Turbo into the rotation, CMA CGM extends direct access to Colombia's northwestern trade gateway, shortening transit paths for cargo owners and giving importers a faster route to market.
PEX2 continues to deliver direct connections to the Dominican Republic, Panama, Jamaica, Colombia, and Mexico. This coverage is amplified by extensive CMA CGM feedering from three major hubs - Jamaica, Panama, and Colombia - enabling broad regional reach from a single, dependable backbone service.
The revised rotation is as follows: Vung Tau - Shekou - Hong Kong - Ningbo - Shanghai - Qingdao - Pusan - Lazaro Cardenas - Balboa - Manzanillo (PA) - Cartagena - Turbo (Puerto Antioquia) - Caucedo - Kingston.
The first sailing under the new structure will be operated by the m/v CMA CGM CAPE COD, voyage PEX0V0E19, with an estimated time of arrival at Turbo - Puerto Antioquia of October 8, 2026.
For shippers managing high volumes across global markets, the reshuffle advances two priorities: dependable transit schedules and consistent visibility from origin to destination. For freight forwarders, the expanded direct coverage and hub feedering create new routing options to differentiate service and secure client commitments. For importers and buyers, a direct call at Puerto Antioquia supports quicker customs clearance and faster inventory replenishment, helping control total landed cost.
This revamp reflects a deliberate trajectory. It positions PEX2 not only as a route between Asia and the Americas, but as a resilient framework built to protect cargo value and keep supply chains moving.
