The CMA CGM Group has announced a $20 billion investment to contribute to the US maritime economy and support the transformation of America’s domestic supply chain over the next four years.
As part of this new programme, CMA CGM Group will contribute to the development of American maritime capabilities through a range of targeted investments.
This move reportedly advances the US Administration’s recently-announced priority to strengthen American shipbuilding capabilities.
This includes bolstering APL’s US flag capacity and enhancing maritime resources with new jobs, skills, and technologies.
The Group will also develop port infrastructure in key locations across the US, including New York, Los Angeles, Dutch Harbor, Houston, and Miami.
These investments will contribute to efficient operations and supply chains, accelerated digitisation and improved connectivity, and increased safety for port workers and cargo.
Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of CMA CGM Group, said: “I am proud to build on our long-standing relationship with the United States through this commitment of $20 billion to the country’s maritime future and logistics capabilities.
“Over the next four years, we will significantly grow our U.S.-flagged fleet, expand the capacity of key container ports on both coasts, develop state-of-the-art warehousing across the country, and establish a significant air cargo hub in Chicago.
“This will create 10,000 new American jobs and further strengthen our partnership with American customers and public authorities.”
