Committed to securing the seas

This participation of the CMA CGM Group is shown specifically by the Reef Recovery program to recover reef. These coral reefs are residence to 25% of aquatic biodiversity as well as compose 0.2% of the sea surface area, with 2 to 4 million types consisting of 6,000 types of aquatic fish.

Aware of the significance of these corals reefs’ communities, the CMA CGM Group released this campaign in late 2020, with a first baby room along the Great Barrier Reef in Australia with ANL, the Group’s professional delivery subsidiary in the Asia-Pacific area. The task has actually been enabled many thanks to the job of the Group in addition to its companion, NGO Reef Restoration Foundation (RRF), which has actually currently permitted greater than 1,000 coral reefs plants to be grown.

Five coral reefs baby rooms in Australia, Florida, the Philippines as well as Seychelles

This coral reefs security program was slowly expanded in 2021, primarily to the Philippines as well as Malaysia, to shield as well as regrow 6,000 km2 within the Coral Triangle with charitable company Endangered Species International, of which CMA CGM is a companion in this area.

Its initiatives have actually additionally been reached the Seychelles in collaboration with Nature Seychelles, an NGO devoted to ecological preservation, by participating in among the globe’s crucial coral reefs repair programs, many thanks to the intro of coral reefs baby rooms.

Very just recently, the Group signed up with pressures with Reef Renewal Foundation International, a charitable that establishes coral reefs repair tasks around the globe. Together, CMA CGM as well as RRFI are proceeding with these regrowth tasks in the Molasses Reef off Key Largo, one of the most seen coral reef in Florida as well as among one of the most renowned diving websites in the United States.

In Australia, using its subsidiary ANL, the Group is proceeding its partnership with RRF as well as preparing to introduce a 2nd baby room in Moore Reef many thanks to the participation of 5 of its customers: Coles Supermarkets, Costa Group, Kalgin Logistics, Gilmac as well as Gori.

CMA CGM’s dedication to the setting

With this globally reef repair program, the CMA CGM Group is remaining to sustain lasting use the seas as well as regard of communities through a variety of significant tasks, in maintaining with its lasting advancement approach, as well as has actually released campaigns to assist to shield biodiversity as well as nature:

• Ending transport of plastic waste on every one of the Group’s vessels worldwide since June 1, 2022: an introducing choice in the delivery sector to shield the seas as well as biodiversity.
• The CMA CGM Group chose in 2019 that none of its ships would certainly utilize the Northern Sea Route in order to shield the Arctic as well as its biodiversity.
• Partnership with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to boost understanding of appropriate whales on the eastern shore of theUnited States Thanks to moneying from CMA CGM, WHOI scientists have actually released 2 easy acoustic surveillance buoys off the shores of Norfolk (Virginia) as well as Savannah (Georgia).
• Limiting ship rate: within cetacean as well as aquatic animal reproducing locations, CMA CGM vessels minimize their rate to 10 knots in order to protect against the threat of accident.
• “Green ships” program aboard all ships had by the Group to arrange waste aboard and after that reuse it ashore.
• Inspections of ship hulls making use of undersea drones reduced co2 discharges by identifying encrustations of shellfish on the hull, which restrict hydrodynamic efficiency.
• The CMA CGM Group furnishes its vessels with an ingenious ballast water therapy system making use of UV light; this system enables it to remove any type of exogenous living microorganisms without any significant influence on neighborhood biodiversity as well as with no use chemical items.
• CMA CGM becomes part of the Ocean & & Climate Platform, pioneered by the UN within the structure of the Group’s coming from the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). The system aids to advertise targets as well as finest techniques to sustain lasting advancement of the seas.
• The CMA CGM Group has actually established itself the target of attaining internet absolutely no carbon in 2050, largely by establishing making use of gas options. At existing, the CMA CGM Group has 29 e-methane prepared vessels presently powered by LNG, which is the most effective commercial device for securing air top quality as well as which gets rid of 99% of sulfur oxides, 91% of great fragments as well as 92% of nitrogen oxide discharges, surpassing existing laws. Using LNG removes sulfur discharges, which acidify the seas, impacting coral reefs as well as aquatic biodiversity.
