[ August 1, 2018 // Gary G Burrows ]CMA CGM has acquired from China Shipping Ports Development Co. Limited a 10% equity interest in CSP Zeebrugge Terminal NV through its wholly-owned subsidiary CMA Terminals.
CMA CGM is currently the major client of CSP Zeebrugge and accounted for one third of the total throughput of the terminal in 2017. The strategic partnership between CMA CGM and COSCO SHIPPING Ports should foster the development of CSP Zeebrugge into a major hub port in Northwest Europe.
