Maersk & MSC’s 2M partnership leaves CMA CGM out in the cold
Maersk has chosen MSC over CMA CGM to be its partner in a new Vessel Sharing Agreement (VSA) covering the three main East-West trade lanes: AsiaEurope, Transpacific and Transatlantic. The new ten-year VSA is branded '2M'
and will supersede the current slot arrangements that Maersk and MSC have
on these trades. It is expected to start in early 2015, pending regulatory approval. The move, which was announced on 10 July, comes three weeks after
Chinese authorities vetoed the formation of the P3 by Maersk, MSC and CMA
CGM on 17 June.
CMA CGM has not yet announced alternative plans after it was ousted by its
two erstwhile P3 partners, but the impact will be significant as CMA CGM has
existing co-operations with Maersk on the FE-Med route since 2009 and with
MSC on the FE-North Europe route since 2012. The three carriers are also VSA
partners on the transpacific sector since 2008. The termination of these current arrangements will leave CMA CGM with significant service gaps which it
can only fill through new slot arrangements with other carriers.
This could pave the way for CMA CGM to partner with CSCL and UASC in a potential ‘2CU’ alliance which would result in the emergence of a four-way alliance battle involving the 2M, 2CU, CKYHE and G6.
The key battleground will be the Far East-Europe trade, where the proposed 2M
