Container transportation and shipping company CMA CGM official partners of No Time To Die

A less glamorous, but nonetheless important official partner of No Time To Die has been announced. In order to film one of the action sequences in Jamaica, EON Productions partnered with CMA CGM, a French container transportation and shipping company.

CMA CGM supported EON by deploying a dedicated team in record time to assist with the filming, including helping with CMA CGM ships and the Kingston terminal in Jamaica.

For the first time in the Group's history, two CMA CGM vessels were mobilized for the production of the blockbuster: CMA CGM FORT SAINT GEORGES (2,260 TEU) and CMA CGM FORT DE FRANCE (3,504 TEU). A dozen sailors from CMA CGM FORT SAINT GEORGES and their Captain also took part, and nearly 1,000 containers were included in the shoot.

This means that we will probably see some containers with CMA CGM logos and ships from the company in the film.
