[230518.EN.SEA] Indonesian President Hails CMA CGM's Direct Calls to USWC


INDONESIAN President Joko Widodo highlighted the importance of the transpacific trade while visiting a CMA CGM vessel in Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) recently.

He was accompanied by the Industry Minister Airlangga Hartarto, Trade Minister Enggartiasto Lukitan, Transport Minister Budi Karya Sumadi and State-Owned Enterprise Minister Rini Soemarno.

They met local staff from CMA CGM and crew of 9,365-TEU CMA CGM Tage which was berthed at the terminal, reported Colchester's Seatrade Maritime News.

The vessel is deployed on the company's JAX service between Southeast Asia and the US west coast, with CMA CGM being the only shipping line to offer a direct service from Indonesia to the US west coast. Most cargo to and from Indonesia is transhipped via Singapore or Malaysia.

The CMA CGM services carries export cargoes such as footwear, garment, tyres, electronic goods and frozen seafood to the US, reducing the transit times for exporters.
