CMA CGM expands eco-container fleet

7/2/2011 9:41:33 AM

CMA CGM has expanded its eco-container fleet by another 18,000 new units, bringing its eco-container fleet to nearly 140,000 TEU.   The CMA CGM Group has done much to minimise the impact of its activities and support development of new, more economic and eco-friendly solutions for its customers.   Since 2005, CMA CGM has offered customers containers with bamboo floors, and today more than 10% of the Group's fleet is equipped with this type of flooring. The Group is currently testing new synthetic resin flooring.   CMA CGM owns 4,500 containers made from strong high tensile steel, which saves 550 kg on a high-cube's tare weight without compromising its structural qualities.   Eyefortransport
