CMA CGM makes presence at Asia Fruit Logistica (4-6 Sept.) to showcase the Group’s expertise in transporting fresh fruits

MARSEILLES : From September 4th to 6th, 2019, the CMA CGM Group, a world leader in shipping and logistics, will attend in Hong Kong ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA, the region’s top trade show dedicated to the fruit industry and its logistics. 

CMA CGM will present its expertise in handling and shipping fresh products at this must-attend regional event, which attracts every year more than 800 exhibitors and 13,500 visitors from around the World. 

 

CMA CGM - Reefer experts

One of the World’s largest carrier of refrigerated containers (“Reefers”), CMA CGM has a young and dedicated fleet of 385,000 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units), in which it continually invests. A global Reefer carrier, CMA CGM has an extensive network coverage, which is complemented by strong local expertise, thereby allowing the Group to offer efficient global, as well as intra regional services.

The Group’s experts offer clients the latest technologies in Reefer transportation, such as CLIMACTIVE, the most advanced controlled atmosphere solution. By quickly reducing the level of oxygen inside the container it is particularly well suited to organic produce and fruits with long transit times.

 

CLIMACTIVE allows the Group’s customers to increase the attractiveness of their products by maintaining freshness to destination, by regulating the maturation process, by extending their products’ shelf life and by preserving their quality. It also makes it possible to export to more distant locations and thereby to target new markets. Finally, CLIMACTIVE does not need any chemical treatment and thus allows customers to keep their organic label.

 

CMA CGM has also developed REEFLEX to optimize the transport of liquids via refrigerated containers thanks to an innovative design and technology which guarantee optimal hygiene and food safety conditions. REEFLEX thus allows for the transport of liquid commodities (fruit juice, milk, syrup, or any type of food oil) in a single tank with a capacity of 12,000 to 26,000 liters.
