Under the reorganization, the previously joint PGE/iNEX service—operated in partnership with Ellerman City Liners—will transition to a fully CMA CGM-managed service. The carrier will deploy two dedicated 1,400-TEU vessels on this route, with the revised rotation serving Tilbury (London), Rotterdam, Leixões, and Setúbal before returning to Tilbury. While Ellerman’s future participation remains under discussion, it is anticipated that the company may continue as a slot charterer; confirmation is pending.

Concurrently, CMA CGM is optimizing its Northwest Europe network in coordination with Alphaliner data (A French maritime consulting firm). The BLX loop will expand its coverage to include Dublin and Southampton, while Bremerhaven, Hamburg, Aarhus, and Szczecin will be removed from the service. These ports will be redistributed: Bremerhaven, Hamburg, and Aarhus will join the SWX loop; Szczecin will be integrated into the FLX loop; Le Havre will be withdrawn from the SWX; and Hamburg will exit the HLX to rejoin the revived DKX loop—marking a strategic reinstatement of the DKX following its earlier merger into the HLX.

Post-realignment, the updated rotations are as follows:  

• BLX: Dublin → Southampton → Riga → Gdańsk → Southampton → Dublin  

• SWX: Bremerhaven → Hamburg → Aarhus → Gothenburg → Bremerhaven  

• FLX: Bremerhaven → Hamburg → Kotka → Helsinki → Gdańsk → Szczecin → Bremerhaven  

• HLX: Tilbury (London) → Dunkirk → Helsingborg → Tilbury  

• DKX: Tilbury (London) → Dunkirk → Hamburg → Tilbury  

These adjustments reflect CMA CGM’s ongoing commitment to network agility, capacity alignment, and service continuity across key European trade lanes.
