In 2020, CMA CGM recorded three major maritime incidents and one major terminal incident.
3 major maritime incidents: - APL ENGLAND: 50 containers lost off Australia in bad weather. These contai- ners are reported in the container loss section. - CC JAKARTA: serious damage to the motor reducer leading to prolonged unavailability of the vessel (not repaired and sold).
- APL ESPLANADE: Ship detained for several weeks by the Mexican authorities following the discovery of drugs in the seawater intakes. The crew was not at all involved in the drug traffic. The QHSE department carried out investigations following each of these

SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS As the oceans are so vast, shipping industry players have to work together to rescue individuals in danger. At any time, ships may have to be diverted to assist another ship in distress.
In 2020, nine such operations were carried out by CMA CGM Group s vessels.
CMA CGM Group transports a wide variety of cargo, ranging from general cargo and manufactured goods to consumer products and dangerous goods. As some cargo can represent a danger during transport, the Group has set up a dedicated organisation to inspect, analyse and prevent risks related to the carriage of goods. To manage dangerous goods, the Group has a dedicated enhanced computer application connected to the overall computer booking system.
The application electronically incorporates international regulations, making it pos- sible to control the way dangerous goods are declared, packaged and stowed in the container. In 2020, the Group was able to respond in almost real time to more than 60% of requests. CMA CGM Group uses its best endeavors to prevent unlawful carriage of goods in accor- dance with regulations and the Group s Code of Ethics.
