Shipping Lines : CMA CGM announces FAK rates from North Europe to USEC, USGULF & USWC

• An unrivaled low-carbon offering made available by the CMA CGM Group.

• Enhancements to the CMA CGM Group’s CLEANER ENERGY LNG solution.

• ACT with CMA CGM+, a complete range of high value-added services to analyze, reduce and offset the environmental footprint of the shipment of your goods.

, Rodolphe Saadé, CMA CGM Group Chairman & CEO, announced in his address to the United Nations Global Compact the support of the production of 12,000 tons of biomethane (equivalent to one year’s consumption of two 1,400-TEU vessels). Biomethane is a renewable green gas produced from sources including organic and plant waste from European agriculture that is processed at methanation facilities.

Thanks to biomethane, we strengthen the ACT with a CMA CGM+ range of high value-added services, to help you further improve your environmental performance.

We are increasing the share of biomethane in the CLEANER ENERGY LNG solution, available since November 2020, leading to a reduction in CO2 emissions of 25% on a well-to-wake basis, compared to the previous 15% reduction. As things stand, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the best solution currently available for reducing shipping’s carbon footprint and preserving air quality. By 2024, 44 of our vessels will be LNG-powered.
