The CMA CGM Group is upgrading three of its services between Africa and Europe.

“CMA CGM constantly works at improving its offering between North Europe, the Mediterranean and West Africa,” said Jean-Yves Duval, vice president of Africa lines at CMA CGM. “The coverage of all African markets is ensured by the Tangiers and Algeciras hub strategy that enables CMA CGM to provide its clients the best services and transit times. Those services are settled to respond to African exporters’ needs, including their reefer container demands. Those improvements have one single objective: satisfying our clients the best we can.”
