CMA CGM drops Containerships brand name

CMA CGM has dropped the Containerships brand, with all of the Finish subsidiary’s services coming under the unified CMA CGM name.

The French liner giant acquired Containerships from Finland’s Container Finance in 2018 and retained the brand for its intra-European services.

In 2019, CMA CGM merged its two shortsea specialists, Containerships and MacAndrews, under one brand, creating one of the largest pan-European networks and combined service offerings in the region.

Founded in 1966, Containerships has over 30 ships and 700 trucks operating on more than 40 services across sea, rail, road, and river.

The Marseille-based carrier said the unit “has played a pivotal role” in expanding its array of multimodal solutions and that by incorporating this unified model into the company’s offerings, it would gain access to extensive solutions offered by Containerships.
