About CMA CGM

CMA CGM is a leading French global group in container shipping and integrated logistics. Founded in Marseille in 1978 by Jacques R. Saadé, the company grew from a Mediterranean shipping line into one of the world’s largest transport groups. Its development has been driven by a long-term family ownership model and by a strategy built around the complementarity of maritime shipping, logistics services, air freight, terminals and supply-chain solutions. Today, the group is chaired and led by Rodolphe Saadé, who has continued to expand the business through international investment and operational diversification. CMA CGM’s core business remains container shipping. The group operates a fleet of more than 650 vessels and serves around 420 ports worldwide through approximately 250 shipping lines. It transports more than 23 million TEUs annually and has fleet slot capacity of roughly 5 million TEUs. Beyond ocean freight, CMA CGM has developed a substantial logistics platform through CEVA Logistics, covering warehousing, road and rail transport, freight forwarding, air cargo and end-to-end supply-chain management. The group also reports around 1,000 warehouses, more than 11 million square meters of storage space and a worldwide presence spanning 160 to 177 countries, depending on the institutional disclosure. CMA CGM holds a top-tier position in the global container shipping market. Its scale, network breadth and service integration make it a strategic partner for industrial shippers, retailers and e-commerce clients seeking door-to-door logistics solutions. The group has also been active in digitalization, offering real-time container tracking and other customer-facing tools designed to improve visibility and service quality. In parallel, CMA CGM has positioned itself as an industry leader in decarbonization. It was among the first major shipowners to deploy very large container vessels powered by LNG and has continued to invest in alternative fuels such as bio-methane and e-methane. Its portfolio includes well-known brands and subsidiaries such as APL, ANL, CNC, Comanav, Mercosul, CMA TERMINALS, Terminal Link and CEVA Logistics. Recent years have seen the group strengthen its port, terminal and logistics footprint through acquisitions and strategic investments, reinforcing its ambition to control more links in the global transport chain. Headquartered in Marseille, CMA CGM combines a strong French identity with a truly global operating footprint, making it a flagship company in international trade and multimodal logistics.
