Inside CMA CGM Fleet Center: Real-Time Visibility at Scale

For supply-chain professionals, the gap between data availability and actionable insight is often where visibility breaks down. This video from CMA CGM, presented at VivaTech 2026, offers a rare glimpse into how one of the world’s largest carriers bridges that gap. Emmanuel Delran, EVP Group Operations, guides viewers through the CMA CGM Fleet Center, a 24/7 control tower that serves as the nerve center for global trade operations.

The footage highlights the integration of maritime expertise with advanced technology to monitor 740 vessels and 470 terminals in real time. This scale of visibility is not merely about tracking; it is about optimization. By continuously analyzing route data, the center improves operational efficiency and significantly reduces environmental impact. Notably, the video cites potential CO₂ savings of up to 170 tons on a single route, demonstrating how granular visibility directly supports sustainability goals.

For logistics leaders evaluating shipment-visibility control tower platforms, this case study is instructive. It illustrates the operational reality of managing complex, global networks where every decision impacts cost, speed, and carbon footprint. The CMA CGM model shows that true visibility requires more than just data ingestion; it demands a dedicated operational hub where technology and human expertise converge to keep trade moving efficiently. Whether you are benchmarking your own control tower capabilities or seeking inspiration for sustainability reporting, this video provides a concrete example of high-stakes, real-time decision-making in modern maritime logistics.
