The Group has set up an Emergency and Communication Response Team to follow the situation, 24/24, 7/7, keeping in close contact with its Egyptian teams in the country, assessing their safety and making sure operations are fully maintained.

In spite of the limited access, all CMA CGM offices are open, except at Ein Sokhna. Now that telecommunications are resumed in the country, CMA CGM is now able to contact its customers in Egypt to advise them of the whereabouts of their import and export containers.

As a reminder, CMA CGM in Egypt is represented by :
