On August 14th, the first vessel on the newly launched FAL 1 ocean service, which connects Busan in South Korea with Gdansk, arrived at the Baltic Hub. The CMA CGM container ship Zheng He departed Busan in June. The Maltese-flagged vessel is 399 meters long and 54 meters wide.
FAL 1 is a new direct ocean service that connects Baltic Hub with Busan – the largest container port in South Korea and the 6th largest container port in the world. The launch of the new connection is the result of long-standing cooperation and successful negotiations between Baltic Hub and CMA CGM. The arrival of the next vessel, CMA CGM Concorde, is scheduled for September 12. Starting in October, vessels in the FAL1 service will be arriving in Gdansk on a weekly basis.
