R MOU Signing Ceremony, (L to R): Laurent Olmeta, CEO, CMA CGM APAC and Ong Kim Pong, regional CEO, Southeast Asia, PSA International.
One of the focus areas is to adopt PSA’s
Opt- E-Arrive digital solution to reduce carbon emission through optimisation of bunker consumption. Opt-E-Arrive is programmed to enable
CMA CGM vessels to skip the anchorage stop and arrive just-in-time at berth at CPLT. The solution synchronises transparent real time activities and automates data exchange between the carrier and port operator. The intelligence enables CMA CGM vessels to optimise vessel speed to be timely for berth. This technology is set to reduce
greenhouse gas emission through further optimisation of bunker consumption. An annualised bunker savings of 4%
to 7% for CMA CGM vessels arriving in Singapore is expected to be achieved with the digital solution. “The CMA CGM Group is delighted to
take sustainable shipping forward with PSA through digital and operational solutions. As we advance in our energy transition to
be a net zero carbon company by 2050, we shall continue to pursue energy efficiency; optimise network; design containerships to progressively operate with zero-carbon energy; and develop a supply chain for new zero carbon energies,” said Laurent Olmeta, CEO, CMA CGM Asia Pacific. Opt-E-Arrive will be complementary to
CMA CGM’s existing Fleet Centers, which can be described as vessel control towers with smart decision support tools for the Group’s 566 vessels and their crews. Backed by 26 team members in Marseille, Miami and Singapore, the Fleet Centers provide round the clock support to ensure the safety of the Group’s crew, vessels and cargoes, and also offer real time data to adapt vessels’ routes and speed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The collaborations demonstrate the
shared commitment between the CMA CGM Group and PSA to drive excellence and decarbonise shipping through the joint venture partnership in CPLT.
In February this year, the CMA CGM
Group launched biofuel bunkering at CPLT, as part of its global trial to scale-up the wider adoption of clean energy. In March 2021, CPLT hosted Asia’s first
ship-to-containership LNG bunkering undertaken by CMA CGM in Singapore. This paves the way for CMA CGM’s LNG powered vessels to refuel LNG during container operations in the Port of Singapore, reducing transit times and their stay in the port. The CMA CGM Group is committed to the energy transition and has set itself the goal of Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2050. To do this, the CMA CGM Group has chosen to invest in dual-fuel vessels that run on liquefied natural gas (LNG), avoiding up to 99% of atmospheric pollutant emissions. LNG is an important first step in reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, and the engine installed on these vessels is capable of using BioLNG (reducing 67% in CO2 emissions).
