The shipping company Neoline announces the signing of a partnership with the CMA CGM Group, a global player in maritime transport and logistics. This commercial agreement will allow CMA CGM to offer its customers the opportunity to ship their cargo aboard Neoliner Origin, the world’s largest sailing cargo vessel.
A collaboration supporting the energy transition in maritime transport
Under this agreement, CMA CGM will be able to make bookings directly on behalf of its customers aboard Neoliner Origin, subject to availability, and integrate a wind-powered transport solution into its portfolio. This provides customers with a concrete alternative to significantly reduce their carbon footprint.
A versatile containerized solution
In addition to its RoRo capacity, Neoliner Origin offers flexible container capacity suited to a wide range of logistical needs. It can carry standard containers (20’, 40’, High Cube), refrigerated containers (reefers), as well as specialized equipment (Flat Rack, Open Top) for out-of-gauge cargo.
The vessel is also capable of handling dangerous goods.
Neoliner Origin’s transatlantic commercial route
Commercial operations will begin on April 20, 2026, on the route connecting Montoir-de-Bretagne / Saint-Nazaire to Baltimore (United States), Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and Halifax (Canada).
A strengthened partnership between CMA CGM and Neoline
In addition to existing partnerships with CMA CGM covering financial aspects, R&D, and container leasing, this collaboration enables:
• Neoline to expand its market access by leveraging CMA CGM’s commercial strength;
• CMA CGM to offer its customers an immediately operational low-carbon maritime transport solution.
This partnership reflects the shared commitment of both companies to accelerate the energy transition of the maritime sector by combining technological innovation with logistics solutions tailored to shippers’ needs.
