CEVA Logistics, a company under the CMA CGM Group, has expanded its global deep-sea car carrier operations through new connections from the Far East to Central and South America via a regular trade lane and spot services.
Three additional Ro-Ro vessels with capacities ranging from 5,500 to 7,000 CEUs are allowing the CEVA Logistics to expand its finished vehicle logistics (FVL) solutions for the automotive market.
The new, regular trade lane service now runs between the Fast East and the west coast of Central and South America, with multiple origin and destination calls available in China, South Korea, Japan, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile.
CEVA Logistics now operates a global fleet of nine deep-sea and short-sea vessels in rotations across four major trade lanes.
In 2023, the company announced the operation of four of Eastern Pacific Shipping’s LNG dual-fuel hybrid deep-sea vessels via a 10-year lease from CMA CGM. The company has since expanded with additional vessel leases.
Each of the vessels commercially operated by CEVA are equipped with lift decks, allowing loads of all types of vehicles, including passenger cars, vans, trucks, heavy machinery and other over-sized vehicles.
