Reefer and Environment

 

Innovative technology for the benefit of the environment




As part of a proactive policy, the CGM Group is committed to developing solutions which combine quality and innovation with protecting the environment.

The Group has closely examined eco-friendly solutions, particularly with regards to energy use and CO2 emissions. It has bought no less than 2,000 reefer containers equipped with low-energy motors which cut fuel consumption by up to three times per voyage, also reducing carbon emissions.
CMA CGM - Refrigerated Containers

In an ongoing drive to optimize the fleet’s environmental performance, the Group has also acquired 3,000 reefer containers equipped with energy use management software. It means the temperature of the goods is being minutely controlled throughout their journey, as a result of which less electricity is consumed. A further 6,000 containers are in the process of being fitted with this software. These latest generation reefer containers are in keeping with CMA CGM’s policy to work towards sustainable development.

The CMA CGM Group is also committed to a policy of acquiring new vessels in order to have a fleet which integrates the latest technologies in terms of protecting the environment.
