Company History: American President Lines Ltd. (now simply referred to as APL), along with its parent company CMA CGM, is the world's third-largest container transportation and shipping company, providing more than 80 weekly services. APL operates a container-ship fleet, including 153 container vessels. Formerly a subsidiary of Neptune Orient Lines (NOL), it is now a wholly owned subsidiary of CMA CGM, a global transportation and logistics company engaged in shipping and related businesses based in France. In 1938, the U.S. government took over the management of the Dollar Steamship Co. which was in financial difficulties and transferred their assets to the newly formed American President Lines
Successor/Parent History:
CMA CGM S.A. is a French container transportation and shipping company. It is the world’s 3rd largest container shipping company, using 257 shipping routes between 420 ports in 160 different countries. Its headquarters are in Marseille, France and its North American headquarters are in Norfolk, Virginia.
CMA CGM, was founded in 1996 as a merger of the Compagnie Générale Maritime (CGM) et the Compagnie Maritime d'Affrètement (CMA).
Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, the predecessor company to Compagnie Générale Maritime (CGM), at one time carried passengers on liners such as the 'Normandy' or the 'France'. CGM maintained only its cargo business when the French government decides to privatise it in 1977.
CMA was created in 1978 by Jacques Saadé as an intra-Mediterranean liner service operator, based in Marseille. After the merger, Jacques Saadé became the first chairman of CMA CGM. He was succeeded in this position by his son Rodolphe in 2017.
