FRENCH shipping giant CMA CGM is
offering a "Business Continuity Pack", a way to store containers in
dedicated hubs until importers can pick them up.
As the coronavirus pandemic affects all
sectors of the world economy, CMA CGM is taking action by launching its
Business Continuity Pack to adapt and protect the supply chains.
With this, CMA CGM provides comprehensive and customised solutions to:
adjust the pace of shipments by prioritising urgent shipments, food,
medical or pharmaceutical products and have others move at normal speeds
via CEVA Logistics, now a CMA CGM unit.
In this way, one can support business activity and protect cargo
networks with Intermediation Services, Shipfin Trade Finance, Serenity
Cargo Value Guarantee, Pharma Reefer Division and Barlock Security
Device, said the company.
Shippers can now pursue business activity remotely with My CMA CGM, the
online platform developed by the group to manage the entire transport
cycle.
CMA CGM also offers Delay in Transit, a new solution to provide enhanced
flexibility and help alleviate current pressures experienced by
customers during the pandemic.
Delay in Transit allows shippers to store their containers in a
dedicated hub until the recipient is ready for them to arrive at the
final destination shown on the bill of lading, said the company
statement.
With this new solution, clients can control and reduce costs related to
warehousing and storage, as well as other expenses that can add up while
their cargo is being transported, CMA CGM said.
Delay in Transit is already available in Kingston, Algeciras, Piraeus, Malta Tripoli (Lebanon), Tanger Med, Singapore and Busan.
