Christening of CMA CGM Notre Dame

Christening of the CMA CGM NOTRE DAME in Le Havre: a highlight for Générale de Manutention Portuaire, France’s leading port handling company
😎 On July 2, 2026, GMP welcomed and handled the CMA CGM NOTRE DAME—a 400-meter-long, LNG-powered giant container ship—at its Terminal de France. This vessel is the first in a series of ten 24,212 TEU ships flying the French flag and represents a true showcase of cutting-edge technology.

Thanks to its strategic location, state-of-the-art equipment, and the expertise of its teams, Générale de Manutention Portuaire has once again demonstrated that it is fully capable of receiving the latest-generation vessels and handling them in record port call times. 👏

This inaugural call illustrates our ongoing ambition:
✔️ Port innovation driving performance
✔️ Recognized operational excellence
✔️ Strong adaptability in the face of fluctuations in activity
👉 GMP—a reliable, agile, responsive, and forward-looking partner—is proud to contribute every day to the competitiveness of the Port of Le Havre and the attractiveness of French ports as a whole
