DP World Australia has signed a long-term partnership extension for the service of CMA CGM Group vessels by DP World Australia at its terminals in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.

The partnership extension, which combines the strengths of two market leaders in Australian port logistics, will mean that CMA CGM Group’s shipping services will leverage DP World Australia’s container terminal and intermodal footprint.

DP World Australia is Australia’s biggest port and supply chain operator.

Its CEO and Managing Director, Paul Scurrah, said the partnership extension provides both organizations with a strong platform for future growth in the Australian market.

Scurrah commented: “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.”

“The new deal deepens an already very strong partnership, and as one of our key customers, we look forward to establishing and growing our relationship with CMA CGM Group.

“The partnership gives both parties numerous opportunities to invest and further expand their services beyond our respective existing operations and locations.”
