Marine Case Study - CMA-CGM Container Line

With over 336 ships on more than 100 shipping routes and over 64 new vessels on order for delivery between 2007 and 2010, CMA-CGM is ranked first in France and third worldwide as a leading container shipping group offering its customers top quality, door-to-door solutions with comprehensive global coverage.

As shipping needs become increasingly logistics-intensive, Johnson Controls has recognised the need for container shipping groups to maximise “Business Continuity.” Based on the sheer size of today‘s modern container ships, the threat of “Business Disruption” from the threat of a fire is a constant one. To meet the specific and often unique needs of the CMA-CGM Container Line, Johnson Controls' worldwide Marine Division‘s design and project management teams have been specified on frequent occasions to protect their ships with a Minerva MX 2000 digital analogue fire detection and alarm system.
