CMA CGM container lines announced that from mid-May they are withdrawing from Gdynia and moving all services to Gdańsk. This means that the Containerships line belonging to CMA CGM will also not call at the container terminals in Gdynia.


CMA CGM announced its decision on April 14, and it will come into force on May 15. From that day on, all the line's vessels - primarily the Containerships feeders - will enter only the Baltic Hub terminal in Gdańsk. So far, ships of this line have called at both Gdynia container terminals. According to general estimates, they accounted for approximately 200,000 teu in BCT and GCT terminals in total. On the other hand, large ocean-going CMA CGM ships called at Gdańsk.


Although the reasons for the carrier's decision have not been given, there are plans to unify all connections under one CMA CGM brand, which would involve closing the Containerships brand. Logistical issues are also important, which are difficult in the case of spreading the services of one carrier to three different terminals located in the immediate vicinity of each other.
