CMA CGM to develop an electric barge solution to serve Vietnam operations

by Hristijan Ivanov

The following release was published by CMA CGM:

  • The CMA CGM Group is building a brand-new zero-emission inland waterway transport solution in Vietnam, featuring a 100% electric barge powered by batteries and a charging infrastructure powered by a new solar farm at the deep-sea terminal of Gemalink.

  • The e-barge will transport goods between Binh Duong and Cai Mep, on a 180 km round trip, achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions and avoiding 778 tons of CO2 annually.

  • CMA CGM is partnering with NIKE on its commitment to use the e-barge for transportation of NIKE products from Binh Duong Province to Gemalink.

  • The e-barge, with NIKE’s commitment to use, helps CMA CGM achieve its goal of Net Zero Carbon by 2050, and promotes decarbonization of maritime activity.

  • More generally, it reinforces CMA CGM commitment in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, contributing to local economic development with stronger and greener supply chains.
