About the Company Responsible for the LNG-Fueled Ship
The company was founded in 1996, stemming from the merger of two companies, Compagnie Maritime d’Affrètement and Compagnie Générale Maritime. CMA CGM is the world’s third-largest maritime company, operating over two hundred routes among more than 400 ports in over 100 countries.
With CMA’s opening in Shanghai in 1992 during its first ship call in China, the company consolidates a project that began in 1986 to expand maritime trade in Asia.
