CMA CGM starts a MOV’EMENT
The shipping and logistics major conducted the inaugural edition of MOV’INDIA, a unique initiative dedicated to help evolve the industry in India, by bringing together key shipping and logistics stakeholders to discuss the future of the industry.
On the agenda for French container shipping company CMA CGM is environmental protection, digital transformation, and Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC), identified as catalysts that will help bring about a change in the industry. The group
launched the first edition of its MOV’INDIA event on May 29, 2019, demonstrating its vision for the future of shipping.
MOV’INDIA 2019 is a first-of-itskind initiative by the CMA CGM Group in India, aiming to bring together the key stakeholders and influencers of the shipping and logistics industry on a single platform for discussions into the future of the industry. Speaking about it was Ugo Vincent, Managing Director, CMA CGM India, who said, “India is growing and we are all witnessing this growth. Through this conference, we are joining forces with major stakeholders in the industry to have a constructive discussion and reflect on three key themes. The first one is digital disruption. The industry is changing and there are a lot of projects going on whether it is on the shipping side, road transport, or block chain. The second one, which is also very close to my heart, is protecting our environment and developing clean technology for clean shipping. We will have dedicated experts from the trade to discuss how things are moving, not just on the CMA CGM side but also with a wider view at IMO 2020.”
The third topic that was put under the microscope was looking beyond the box. Vincent added, “We know that CMA CGM is able to transport containers, but we are also listening to our customers. You can see big groups building factories, importing and exporting industrial projects, and those we can carry on a container ship. So, we are not only carrying containers, but also transformers and big machines.”
CMA CGM, which is controlled by the Saadé family, recently bought a 25 per cent stake in Ceva Logistics.
