March 2010 - BMW Move First Cars In Containers
CMA CGM to transport 700 vehicles for BMW in Autotainers
The first BMW luxury vehicles have now been successfully discharged in Cayman and Guatemala after CMA CGM won a contract with BMW to ship their cars to several destinations in the Caribbean. CMA CGM expect to carry more than 700 cars during 2010, most of which will be in their Trans-Rak equipped Autotainers.
Following intensive work by CMA CGM's H.O. Autotainer desk, under the responsibility of Tim Leighton, CMA CGM Hamburg and Antwerp, BMW's technical and commercial staff chose the Autotainers for their great flexibility in loading large and varied vehicle types, and the weekly door-to-door services that CMA CGM provide to multiple destinations in the Caribbean area.
This adds to the growing list of satisfied Autotainer customers who include Lotus, Renault, Sofasa, BYD, Renault-Samsung, Proton, Caterham, Fiat, Peugeot, Hyundai, Glovis, K&N, Damco, PKT Logistics and FTA Logistics.
