CMA CGM becomes first global liner to run an Indian-flagged vessel

CMA CGM has welcomed the arrival of the first Indian flagged containership registered by a major foreign carrier

With a total capacity of 2,592 teu, CMA CGM Vitoria serves India on the group’s BIGEX network, which offers direct links between India, the Gulf, and the Red Sea, performing weekly calls from Nhava Sheva and Mundra.

The group will register three more vessels in India in the coming months, following on from a recent visit by Narendra Modi to CMA CGM’s Marseille headquarters. 

With a 34-year presence in India and a workforce of 17,000 employees, CMA CGM is actively developing port infrastructure in India, thanks to strategic investments in terminals located at Nhava Sheva Freeport (NSFT), near Mumbai, and at Mundra Port.
