A diversified that adapts to all your needs
From the CMA CGM JACQUES SAADE, the world’s largest container ship flying the French flag, with a capacity of 23,000 TEU, to the smallest feeder ship with capacity of 300 TEU, we are the world’s third-largest shipowner, offering a balanced fleet. Knowing how to adapt the size of our vessels to the type of cargo assigned to us also makes us more responsive and enables us to achieve economies of scale in order to transport goods at lower cost. Our fleet of over 650 ships is able to transport containers of all types to meet the needs of businesses and producers of all kinds in even the most remote corners of the globe.
Our fleet of feeder ships, small vessels that navigate between the main ports and secondary ports, make it possible to reduce road transport, which is more polluting, needed to supply ships on the main shipping lines . With an average capacity of 300 to 1,000 TEU, they usually collect containers from various ports and transport them to central terminals, where they are loaded onto bigger vessels.
All these ships – from the smallest to the largest – are operated by more than 9,000 crew members offering a variety of recognized skills.
Efficient and responsible RORO ships
Our fleet of RORO (Roll on, Roll Off) ships operate across the Mediterranean serving countries in North Africa. They offer a real gateway to Europe.
These RORO ships are equipped with mobile access ramps, allowing for goods to be loaded and unloaded by towing between the edge and the wharf . By pooling onboard freight cargos, these ships also significantly reduce carbon emissions and limit noise pollution compared with road transport.
Dedicated expertise in outsized goods
How do you ship cars, trains, yachts, factory parts? Or any other kind of cargo that is too large, too heavy or too delicate to be transported by container? We have the necessary ships, equipment and expertise. Our special cargo experts work with you to come up with a tailor-made solution and remain by your side throughout the process. During transportation, at loading and unloading ports, your outsized cargo is supervised by a dedicated team. These highly qualified professionals pay the utmost attention to ensuring safe and secure handling. Did you know that we were the sole transporter of a replica of the Statue of Liberty between Le Havre and New York? To take to the seas, Lady Liberty’s little sister was unbolted and carefully packed in a plexiglass box, specially designed for the transportation of sculptures, and then placed in a 20 foot container.
