- This landmark record further reaffirms CMA CGM commitment to the United States.
- The CMA CGM Group is a long-term partner of the U.S. and a major contributor to the country’s economy.
The CMA CGM Group, a world leader in transport and logistics, announced earlier today that the new CMA CGM Brazil is the largest vessel ever to enter the port of New York & New Jersey and to dock on the U.S. East Coast.
The 366 meter long - equivalent to eight Statues of Liberty - and 51 meter wide vessel has a 15,072 TEU capacity and is currently deployed on the weekly Columbus JAX service.
The CMA CGM Group is the #1 shipping company in the US
As the number-one carrier in the U.S., CMA CGM is dedicated to meeting the needs of its customers, especially as the country recovers from an unprecedented healthcare pandemic. The CMA CGM Brazil’s deployment is a symbol of the Group’s commitment to supporting that recovery and to contributing to the U.S. economy’s overall health.
CMA CGM port partners on the East Coast played a crucial role in making this feat possible by implementing the necessary and timely infrastructure improvements needed to accommodate these larger ships. Improvements without which this milestone would not have been possible.
This landmark record further reaffirms the Company's commitment to the United States where CMA CGM stands as the outright leader in terms of total combined export/import market share.
