CMA CGM Group has announced a $20 billion investment over the next four years to bolster America’s maritime transportation, logistics, and supply chain capabilities. This significant commitment aims to support the U.S. economy, boost American exports, and generate 10,000 new jobs.

This will create 10,000 new American jobs and further strengthen our partnership with American customers and public authorities.”
