CMA CGM’s volumes up 9.6%

CMA CGM has reported a 9.6% year-on-year increase in throughput for the second quarter of 2018 as volumes rose to 5.19m teu, reflecting the strength of the Ocean Alliance.

The carrier attributed the growth to the strength of Transpacific and Asia/Gulf lines, as well as services to and from South America.

Rodolphe Saadé, chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group, said: “The strong volume growth demonstrates our commercial strength and the quality of our service offering.”
