CMA CGM forms JV with PSA to operate four berths at Pasir Panjang

Operations will begin in 2H16.

Shortly after acquiring Singapore-based Neptune Orient Lines, French shipping conglomerate CMA CGM revealed that it will form a joint venture company with PSA Singapore Terminals to operate and use four mega container berths at Pasir Panjang Terminal Phases 3 and 4.

The joint venture company, CMA CGM-PSA Lion Terminal Pte. Ltd. (CPLT), will start operations from the second half of the year. The JV will allow CMA CGM and its affiliates to use advanced facilities at the latest Pasir Panjang expansion, which has the capacity and scale of operations to better serve mega vessels in the region.

“It is a significant step, demonstrating the ongoing importance of Singapore to our strategy, and delivering on our commitment to making Singapore the Asian hub for the Group,” said Rodolphe Saadé, Vice Chairman of CMA CGM Group.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
