DP World Australia has signed a long-term partnership extension over the servicing of CMA CGM Group vessels by DP World Australia at its terminals in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.
This partnership extension brings the two big players in the Australian port logistics sector closer together. CMA CGM Group’s shipping services, which include ANL and APL, will leverage DP World Australia’s container terminal and intermodal footprint.
DP World Australia’s CEO and managing director Paul Scurrah said the partnership extension provides the two organisations with a strong platform for future growth in the Australian market.
“We are delighted to be selected by the CMA CGM Group as its major stevedoring provider in Australia. In an exceedingly competitive market, locally and globally, securing the partnership with CMA CGM Group reinforces our position within our industry as a leading and responsive trade enabler.”
ANL’s incoming managing director Xavier Eiglier said: “This contract extension is strategically important for the CMA CGM Group and ANL, its major operator in Australia, as it gives us certainty of access to quality stevedoring operations around Australia.
“Shipping is a very competitive environment, our customers count on us for timely shipment and arrival of their goods, so we in turn rely heavily on the performance of our chosen stevedores. We look forward to working closely with DP World Australia to continuously improve performance so as to maintain the quality of our customers’ supply chains.”
DP World Australia claims to be Australia’s biggest port and supply chain operator providing stevedoring and port supply chain services.
CMA CGM Group, comprising of CMA CGM, ANL, APL and ANL Sofrana, is said to be the largest shipping group in Australia providing international and coastal shipping, container logistics and container hire and sales services.
