CMA CGM implements environment-friendly technology

CMA CGM's "Marco Polo"

The CMA CGM MARCO POLO, the world’s largest containership (16,020 TEU), is equipped with the latest environmental technological innovations. The CMA CGM Group finalized the purchase of 50,000 bamboo eco-containers.

To mark a week celebrating sustainable development initiatives in France, CMA CGM reaffirmed its long standing commitment to global environmental policy defined by Jacques R. Saade, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the CMA CGM Group.

The battle against anthropogenic catastrophic global warming, the preservation of the oceans, and the ecological solutions offered to customers are strategic parts of the group’s activity and organization.

CMA CGM attempts to minimize the impact of its activities on the environment, and to develop new ecological solutions.

 1) Ships equipped with the latest environmental technologies:
 2) An alternative propulsion system for greener ships
 3) Reductions of CO2 emissions
 4) Voluntary commitment to protect the environment
 5) Ecological solutions

Ludovic Gerard, CMA Ships Vice President, said, “Ever cleaner ships will be a requirement in the near future for cargo transportation. All of our teams are committed to this process, both in the day to day management and continuous improvement process of the existing fleet, an with the conception of tomorrow’s vessels.

This qualitative approach is now acknowledged and appreciated by CMA CGM’s clients. I am very proud of the work done by our teams, which will be, I am sure, soon rewarded by the ISO 14001 certificate.”  < Korea Shipping Gazette >
