PSA and CMA CGM to Expand Collaboration with New Digital Solutions to Reduce Carbon Footprint

PSA Singapore (PSA) and the CMA CGM Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly create and implement sustainable solutions relating to CMA CGM’s port and terminal handling activities in Singapore, through the joint venture partnership in CMA CGM-PSA Lion Terminal (CPLT). One of the focus areas is to adopt PSA’s Opt-E-Arrive digital solution to reduce carbon emission through optimisation of bunker consumption.

Opt-E-Arrive is programmed to enable CMA CGM vessels to skip the anchorage stop and arrive just-in-time at berth at CPLT. The solution synchronises transparent real time activities and automates data exchange between the systems of the carrier and port operator. The dynamic intelligence therefore enables CMA CGM vessels to optimise vessel speed to be timely for berth arrival.

This innovative solution is set to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through further optimisation of bunker consumption. With the digital solution, CMA CGM vessels arriving in Singapore expect to achieve an annualised bunker savings of 4% to 7%.

The extended collaborations demonstrate the shared commitment between the CMA CGM Group and PSA to drive excellence and decarbonise shipping through the joint venture partnership in CPLT.

Mr Ong Kim Pong, Regional CEO Southeast Asia, PSA International, said, “PSA aims to create an Internet of Logistics through building a connected system of nodes and platforms together with our customers and partners. We are delighted to embark on this collaboration with our steadfast partner CMA CGM through various initiatives to enhance service excellence. With greater visibility, closer cooperation and enhanced cargo flow with digital solutions, we can move the world together sustainably, and with greater agility and efficiency.”
