CMA CGM launches CMASHIPS.com to attract global seafaring talent and promote inclusive maritime careers.
In a significant step to boost its maritime talent pool, the CMA CGM Group, a global leader in shipping and logistics, has officially launched CMASHIPS.com, a new, dedicated online recruitment platform for seafarers. As the Group rapidly expands its maritime operations, this initiative addresses the growing challenge of attracting and retaining top-tier talent in the shipping industry.
Designed to simplify the application process and promote maritime careers, CMASHIPS.com serves as a comprehensive gateway for global seafarers—officers, engineers, ratings, catering staff, and cadets—looking to join the Group’s fleet of 350 owned vessels. The platform consolidates the recruitment efforts of CMA CGM’s agencies, subsidiaries, and partners, who manage over 13,000 crew members worldwide.
“Seafarers are essential to the operation of our vessels and are at the heart of our priorities. This new website goes far beyond a simple recruitment platform; it opens the way to a meaningful career, driven by commitment and international opportunities,” said Julien Loridon, Vice President of CMA SHIPS.
Key features of CMASHIPS.com include:
- A streamlined, user-friendly job application interface.
- Authentic crew testimonials offering insight into life at sea.
- Information on onboard living conditions, safety protocols, and career progression paths.
- Regular updates on innovations at sea, new services, recruitment events, and seafaring news.
The platform also introduces visitors to CMA SHIPS, the entity responsible for crewing, fleet management, and technical operations across the CMA CGM Group’s maritime assets. In collaboration with top maritime academies in France and internationally, CMA SHIPS trains new generations of seafarers aligned with world-class standards in safety, sustainability, and performance.
As part of its broader strategy to transform and diversify the shipping industry, CMA CGM is also spotlighting its “She Sails” initiative—an ambitious programme to promote gender diversity at sea. Through this campaign, the Group reaffirms its commitment to making maritime professions inclusive and accessible to all, regardless of gender.
With CMASHIPS.com, CMA CGM not only enhances its recruitment capabilities but also reimagines maritime careers for the next generation of seafarers, reinforcing its position as an innovative, people-first global shipping leader.
