FRENCH shipping giant CMA CGM posted a 68 per cent year-on-year third quarter operating profit increase to
US$1.7 billion, drawn on revenues of $8.1 billion, up six per cent.
"Our
shipping activity has seen a significant increase in volumes transported
compared to the second quarter of 2020, and CEVA's transformation plan starts
to bear fruit," said CMA CGM chairman and CEO Rodolphe Saade.
The
world's third biggest container shipping company after Maersk and MSC, said the
pick-up in global economic activity following the easing of various lockdown
measures helped improve the Marseilles-based group's fortunes.
This
provided strong momentum in consumer consumption, also helping along strong
e-commerce growth as well as the usual seasonal variation in business activity
in preparation for both back-to-school September and Christmas shopping.
Volumes
carried during the third quarter continued to recover and were up 16.8 per cent
compared with the second quarter of 2020. Volumes were also up year on year.
The average revenue per TEU was $1,120, up
5.2 per cent year on year, in particular on transpacific trades.
