of Understanding (MoU) in 2018 to drive digitalization and innovation
in the shipping and supply chain ecosystems. This MoU paved the way
for a strategic partnership between ZEBOX, CMA CGM’s international

International’s external innovation and corporate venture, whereby both
entities will share resources, key knowledge and expertise.
• CMA CGM-PSA Lion Terminal (CPLT)
The CMA CGM Group and PSA International formed a container
terminal joint venture named CMA CGM-PSA Lion Terminal, located
in Pasir Panjang, in 2016. The terminal has a total operating capacity
of 4 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units). This was a significant
milestone for the Group in developing a deeper root in Singapore.
