Today, members of the new OCEAN ALLIANCE – the CMA CGM Group, COSCO Container Lines, Evergreen Line and Orient Overseas Container Line

– announced the proposed network of the largest shipping alliance in the world.

The Group will not only be offering more ports, direct calls and better transit times, but is also committed to providing unmatched shipping services and quality through best-in-class business operations and solutions across the Group.
The CMA CGM Group manages a complete supply chain business in intermodal network and terminal operations that strongly supports its container shipping services.
