CP to become primary rail provider for CMA CGM
Canadian Pacific (CP) is to become CMA CGM's primary rail provider in Canada, servicing the ports of Vancouver, Montreal and Saint John, NB. The two companies recently signed a new multi-year agreement. The partnership creates natural synergies, which will add density to key lanes and strengthen operational efficiency.
The railway’s port accesses, combined with its strategic connection to Port Saint John via New Brunswick Southern Railway, will enable to move the majority of CMA CGM's freight from Canadian ports to key Canadian and US Midwest inland markets, the railway said.
The agreement also recognises the future growth opportunities connected to CP's proposed combination with the Kansas City Southern railway. (ben)
