CMA CGM’s 2025 expansion: Commercial diplomacy in the service of western geostrategy

In a year marked by intensifying geopolitical competition in global trade, CMA CGM has undertaken a series of expansive initiatives that go well beyond commercial logic.

Its 2025 investment footprint reveals a deeper alignment with Western strategic objectives, particularly those of the United States, aimed at counterbalancing China’s maritime influence.

Through critical infrastructure deals, fleet expansion, and new regional footholds, CMA CGM is emerging as a key actor in what may be termed “commercial diplomacy”, using corporate assets to reshape the balance of maritime power.
