The 8,238-TEU vessel is deployed for the Java Sea Express (JAX) service
and Pendulum Loop 1 (PE1) service by CMA CGM and APL respectively –
two operating brands of the CMA CGM Group. CMA CGM OTELLO is one
of 17 vessels that will ply the sea route of the weekly JAX or PE1 service

better efficiency and cost savings arising from transshipment.
