CMA CGM Gabon | Implementation of Country Carbon Contribution

As part of ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions, the Gabonese Council of Ministers adopted in Jan. 2025 a decree impacting maritime and air transport.

Its purpose is to thoroughly control emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) for all actors operating on the Gabonese territory.

A National Sovereign Carbon Registry will follow up and analyze emissions, and a new Carbon Contribution paid to the AGADEV will help financing environmental projects.

In this regard, we wish to inform you of the implementation of a surcharge related to carbon emission reduction, applicable as follows:
