CMA CGM will become the liner operators exclusive commercial carrier on the transpacific trade.
The French carrier will take over the operations of its Singapore subsidiary APL on the trade from 1 October.
The move will mean the removal of the APL brand from all of its former liner trades except for the US government flag services.
It comes four years after CMA CGM took over APL through the purchase of its parent company — Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) — in September 2016.
