CMA CGM, one of the world’s top three shipping lines, continues to reinforce its long-standing partnership with Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) terminals.

The company, which handles approximately 12-13% of the global shipping market share, has been a key player in enhancing the efficiency and connectivity of Sri Lanka’s maritime industry.

CMA CGM has recently achieved a significant milestone volume at SLPA terminals, underscoring its commitment to further expanding its presence in Sri Lanka. In alignment with this growth strategy, new services are being introduced at SLPA terminals, providing enhanced operational capabilities and strengthening Colombo’s position as a major maritime hub in the region.

CMA CGM is a leading worldwide shipping group with a presence in over 160 countries. With a fleet of over 500 vessels, the company is a pioneer in global trade, offering innovative and sustainable transport solutions.

Looking ahead, CMA CGM is poised to increase its operational volume at SLPA terminals, strengthening its dedication to providing world-class shipping solutions. This expansion will contribute to the continued development of Sri Lanka’s port infrastructure and boost the country’s role in global trade.

“We value our strong partnership with SLPA terminals and are committed to further enhancing our services in Sri Lanka, and this milestone achievement reflects our strategic focus on operational excellence and our confidence in Colombo as a key port in the region,” CMA CGM said.

As CMA CGM continues to drive innovation and efficiency in global shipping, its collaboration with SLPA terminals remains instrumental in advancing Sri Lanka’s maritime industry.
