Creating value for your business

 Although we transport more than 24 million containers around the world each year, our role within the supply chain is not just to link point A to point B. Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the markets and the commercial and environmental issues concerned, we are in a position to do even more. Our range of high value-added services goes beyond just transportation, helping producers and businesses to optimize their operations and enhancing the entire value chain.

High value added services to make transportation more environmentally friendly, safer and efficient

CMA CGM+ Services: SPECIFIC NEEDS, SPECIFIC SERVICES

CMA CGM +: a range of services going beyond transportation

We put our clients at the center of our innovation process and have developed CMA CGM+, a range of high value-added services, addressing three major concerns:

 

  • CARE, to guarantee and protect all your goods, even the most delicate
  • BOOST, to develop your business potential, improve visibility and enhance your performance
  • ACT, to analyze, reduce and offset your environmental impact.
     

To augment these services, we draw on all the Group’s areas of expertise, as well as intelligent and secure use of the numerous pieces of data we collect: the data obtained from our shipping expertise, and the data supplied by our smart containers, or by our vessels with integrated advanced technologies.

By combining and analyzing this data, and capitalizing on the strength of our R&D we are able to optimize our transportation solutions and offer useful and effective high value-added services.

Guarantee, protect and secure your goods

Guaranteeing your goods means first of all ensuring the freight’s integrity for the duration of container transportation. Pharmaceutical products, live seafood products, perishable or liquid foodstuffs and fragile clothing: all these goods require specific conditions to cross the seas.  Preventing the ripening process of fruits and vegetables, checking and ensuring temperatures of -25° and at 30° during transit, avoiding contamination in accordance with hygiene standards or stopping products with a fibrous structure from getting wet are parameters that need to be controlled for businesses and producers to avoid losses. To respond to this, we offer a comprehensive range of high value-added container solutions.

Guaranteeing goods also means guaranteeing cargos against potential damage due to accidents, fire, leaks, delays, etc., using insurance systems to reimburse fees or technical protection devices. The aim is to limit the financial repercussions on the company.

For example, we offer the BARLOCK security device for high value cargos, high tech equipment or luxury goods. The steel system is fitted onto the container to increase door security, making it impenetrable.

Boosting performance and increasing our clients’ business potential

We have devised unique services to develop our clients’ potential, visibility and business performance. The analysis tools developed thanks to digital technologies make it possible to quickly identify anomalies in the supply chain. By tracking our containers in real time, our TRAXENS smart container service enables our clients to rapidly put corrective measures in place to reduce operating costs.

 

As the slightest delay can impact a company’s business, these tracking technologies make it possible to handle certain goods efficiently as a priority. Our Seapriority service offers three levels of prioritization for the loading and unloading of goods right up to the final point of delivery.

 

Facilitating management of transportation documents also saves time and increases efficiency. We were the first to develop a 100% digital bill of lading service with the same legal validity as the traditional bill of lading sent by post. This solution is also more environmentally friendly.

 

Our logistics solutions (link to Devising logistics solutions page) are tailor-made from production through to point of sale, covering a broad range of services: inbound and outbound logistics, white glove service, after-sale logistics, lead logistics provider and manufacturing support. Supported by effective IT systems, our control tower solution makes it possible to manage physical and financial flows with ease.

 

To support the growth of the businesses that use our container transportation services to ship their goods, we offer trade financing solutions. These high value-added services make it easier for our clients to recover their receivables, thereby securing their logistics chain and stabilizing their business relationship. Our networking service enables our clients to enter into relationships with new business partners all over the world thanks to a dedicated digital platform, creating new business opportunities.

Improving our clients’ environmental performance

We are deeply committed to reducing the impact of container transportation activities on the environment. That is why with the comprehensive range of CMA CGM+ services (link to business website), we have designed new services to offer our clients solutions to take action together to reduce their carbon footprint. These value-added services have been specially designed to enable them to analyze, reduce and offset their impact on the environment.

Using liquefied natural gas, biofuel and biomethane makes our vessels more environmentally friendly and enables us to reduce our air pollution and carbon emissions. This positive impact is directly reflected in our clients’ environmental performance. We certify that their goods shipments have been involved in reducing these emissions by means of an official declaration, verified by a certified independent organization.

 

Finally, we help our clients to offset 100% of their residual impact thanks to the partnership with PUR Projet , a well-known name in promoting sustainable environmental projects. All projects put forward are certified in accordance with the strictest standards.
