Innovate to progress

CMA CGM equips its vessels with an innovative ballast water treatment system, based on UV rays, without chemical additives. In this respect, it is important to highlight the commitment that the CMA CGM Group made at the  One Ocean Summit in February 2022 to end the transport of plastic waste aboard any of its ships – with same effective as of this past June 1st and immediately putting CMA CGM at Level 3 for the waste management performance indicator.

CMA CGM has joined the Green Marine program in 2021, in order to measure the carbon impact of its activities and move towards common solutions in a collaborative approach.
