Remote access to business
Pursue business activity remotely with My CMA CGM, the online platform developed by the Group to manage the entire transport cycle.

DELAY IN TRANSIT
This is a new solution to temporarily store containers in a dedicated hub. DELAY IN TRANSIT allows them to temporarily 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. 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.

DELAY IN TRANSIT is already available globally through the following hubs:

Towards the Americas: Kingston
Towards Northern Europe: Algeciras, Piraeus
Towards the Western Mediterranean and the Adriatic: Algeciras, Malta
Towards the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea: Tripoli (Lebanon), Malta
