CMA-CGM’s Eagle Express service, offered by APL, has successfully delivered on its timing and delivery commitments in August. Premium services like that are an increasingly important part of competition among the container lines and will be vital in maintaining the 7% volume growth seen by APL in the three months to August 31 on a year earlier. Potential customers for APL that currently use the Eagle Express routes with other container-lines include Target (16k TEUs in the past 12 months) and LG Electronics (14k TEUs).
