CMA CGM: Container shipping group CMA CGM said shipping activity remained strong in the final quarter of 2020 after a rebound from initial coronavirus-related disruption boosted the French company’s third-quarter profits.
CMA CGM, the world’s fourth-largest container shipping line, said its EBITDA margin rose to 21.0% in the third quarter from 17.2% in the previous quarter and 13.3% in the year-earlier period.

“During the fourth quarter, maritime activity is more sustained than during the third quarter due to the ongoing increase in volumes,” CMA CGM said.
