Our objective is to ensure perfect compliance with regulations at sea, prevent negative impacts on marine biodiversity by avoiding water pollution and contribute to the restoration of damaged ecosystems.

Sustainable use of the oceans and respect for marine life are core principles of CMA CGM Group. Our actions and commitments go beyond limiting our impacts at sea and ashore by supporting research and recovery initiatives in favor of biodiversity conservation.

Spills prevention To prevent spills, including oil spills from Group vessels or terminals, a set of measures is in place to mitigate this risk, such as fleet maintenance, routine drills and simulations, both onboard and onshore, and a strong crisis management policy. In addition, 57 vessels of our fleet are equipped with the FORS system (Fast Oil Recovery System), a reliable safe system for managing oil spills, which makes it possible to quickly recover bunker oil through a system of standardised connectors in case of grounding or collision.

Container Loss Containers are lost at sea worldwide every year due to difficult navigation conditions or rare incidents. We try to maintain a mini- mal amount of container loss. In 2020, while on her way from Ningbo to Melbourne, the APL ENGLAND vessel encountered heavy weather and lost 51 containers overboard.

Ballast water treatment system CMA CGM is equipping its vessels with an innovative ballast water treatment system using UV light. The system helps eliminate any living exogenous organisms without negative impacts on local biodiversity.

More responsible solutions for dismant- ling vessels CMA CGM Group uses dismantling sites that comply with and go beyond the provisions of the Hong Kong International Convention for the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships. CMA CGM audits these dismantling sites itself and uses third party organisations to monitor procedures daily. In 2020, the Group sent four vessels to be dismantled in yards located in Turkey.
