The CMA CGM Group was recently given the 2008-2009 Ocean Carrier of the Year Award by Walmart in recognition of its commitment to excellent service.
According to Walmart, CMA CGM received the award based on its ability and willingness to provide efficient value-added services and offer flexibility when needed.
This award is recognised in the industry as the benchmark of superior performance with more than 19 service criteria assessed on a monthly basis, including delivery of superior customer service, documentation and data quality and timeliness.
The CMA CGM Group has worked closely with Walmart since 2005, including membership together in the Clean Cargo group where both companies work closely to reduce their environmental footprint.
Led by its founder Jacques R. Saadé, CMA CGM is currently the world's third largest container shipping group and is ranked number one in France.
