CMA CGM Group is to capacity with a new hub in Chicago, where it will deploy five new Boeing 777 freighters, flown by US pilots. The move is part of a plan by the shipping, airfreight and logistics group to invest $20 billion in its US and Americas network over the next four years.
The group is also investing in its US ports along with warehousing and automotive logistics platforms across the country.
In addition, CMA CGM will open a new logistics research and development hub in Boston, focusing on advanced robotics and automation in collaboration with leading US technology partners.
