CMA CGM acquires 7,000 reefers
CMA CGM recently announced the purchase of more than 7,000 40-foot high cube reefer containers, including 6,000 low consumption engines.
"These investments strengthen CMA CGM’s leader’s position in reefer transport, which will become the most important vehicle of sensitive goods transport in the following years to come," said Alexis Michel, senior vice president of Logistics and Reefer for the container line.
With its reefer fleet of 185,000 TEUs, CMA CGM is increasing its reefer volume by 13 percent a year. It said it is ranked second in reefer transport, hauling 850,000 TEUs of refrigerated cargo annually.
The French container line said it intends to transport one million 20-foot reefer containers before 2015.
